✨Introducing SENSEI✨ We bring semantically meaningful exploration to model-based RL using VLMs. With intrinsic rewards for novel yet useful behaviors, SENSEI showcases strong exploration in MiniHack, Pokémon Red & Robodesk. Accepted at ICML 2025🎉 Joint work with @cgumbsch 🧵
🎉We're excited to be back at #neurips2024 this December!🎉 Accepting submissions due Sept 11. See pinned post for details.
Announcing the NeurIPS 2024 Workshops! Read our blog for details on our selection process this year - and the list of accepted workshops for 2024! blog.neurips.cc/2024/08/02/ann…
@svlevine was just presenting in the Exploration in AI @ #ICML2025 and promoted that exploration needs to be grounded, and that VLMs are a good source ;-) Check our paper below 👇

This workshop has an incredibly diverse line-up, from Rumelhart prize winner Alison Gopnik to award winning science fiction writer Ted Chiang to our very own Mika Samvelyan talking about agent learning in open-ended worlds, kudos to the organisers. 🚀 See you all there!
Excited to give an invited talk on Agent Learning in Open-Endedness at the @IMOLNeurIPS2024 workshop this Sunday. I'll be joining an amazing lineup of speakers. Hope to see you there! 📅 Sunday, Dec 15 🕚 11:35 - 12:15 📍 West Meeting Room 217-219
We're at #NeurIPS🇨🇦! Check out our updated Sunday schedule: imol-workshop.github.io/pages/program/
I’ll be at NeurIPS next week and I’m super excited! Also really looking forward to our IMOL workshop @IMOLNeurIPS2024 on Dec 15th 🤩 If you are interested in intrinsically motivated open-ended learning and want to have a chat next week at NeurIPS, feel free to reach out!
Really amazing! Future is exciting — open-ended agents coming together with rich open-ended environments 🚀
Excited to reveal Genie 2, our most capable foundation world model that, given a single prompt image, can generate an endless variety of action-controllable, playable 3D worlds. Fantastic cross-team effort by the Open-Endedness Team and many other teams at @GoogleDeepMind! 🧞
📢Mentorship Roundtables are back #neurips2024! Discuss research and professional development with 7 PIs over lunch🤝 Interest form: forms.gle/gHiGmfqiDN5tqi… (~25 spots left) The mentors: @AlisonGopnik ⭐️@aharutyu⭐️@jeffclune @KouMurayama⭐️@nickhaber⭐️@proceduralia⭐️@froemero1⭐️
