@DeployableRL workshop is happening this Friday at @RL_Conference. I will be moderating a panel hosting Minmin Chen, Omer Gottsman, @DanielRuss0, Kaushik Subramanian and Cathy Wu. Please vote here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… to push your favorite production RL question to the top!
Excited to give a talk here this Friday. Come by if you're in the Boston area.
Together with @eshedob, we are organizing a Reinforcement Learning Day at Boston University on May 10th: bu.edu/hic/frp-reinfo… We have a great lineup of speakers who will talk about recent progress in RL. Registration & attendance is free: please share and consider…
This book is a timeless gem. The thing to read to get a deeper grasp of duality.
There is a now obscure book everybody interested in optimization should read; we call it the Red Book. The real title is Optimization by Vector Space Methods, by Luenberger. It’s really about convex duality and functional analysis. It’s lovely and how I learned duality.

Thank you to the prize committee! It's quite humbling to be recognized alongside Prof. Nesterov and past winners. Getting to hangout and celebrate with Ben (for the first time since Covid) made this especially cool.
Congratulations to Ben Van Roy and @DanielRuss0, the recent winners of this year’s Lanchester Prize for their work on randomised exploration schemes. Their research has helped form a foundation for exploration methods in #RL and has had a major impact in the AI field.
