RL Theory Virtual Seminars
@RLtheory
Virtual seminar series featuring the latest advances in theoretical reinforcement learning. Seminars (approximately) every Tuesday at 6pm UTC.
Join us for Nneka's presentation tomorrow! Last talk before the summer break.

Join us tomorrow for Dave's talk! He will present his recent work on randomised exploration, which received an outstanding paper award at ALT 2025 earlier this year.

Later today, Sikata and Marcel will talk about their recent work on oracle-efficient RL with ensembles. Join us!

Tomorrow it is time again for a great seminar! Join us to hear out one of Jeongyeol's latest findings.

Be ready at 6 PM UTC for the first seminar of our spring seminar ! Max is giving a great talk on imitation learning today

Last seminars before the summer break: 04/29: Max Simchowitz (CMU) 05/06: Jeongyeol Kwon (Univ. of Widsconsin-Madison) 05/20: Sikata Sengupta & Marcel Hussing (Univ. of Pennsylvania) 05/27: Dhruv Rohatgi (MIT) 06/03: David Janz (Univ. of Oxford) 06/10: Nneka Okolo (MIT)

Check out our paper arxiv.org/abs/2503.09722 to find out more, or join in on the RL theory seminar on April 29th at 1pm ET (follow for more details)
Last seminar before we take a short break to prepare for the next season! You can send us paper recommendations via this form: forms.gle/Uak8LpVPynNMbf…
Join us tomorrow to attend Vlad's presentation! Related to the seminar from last week, but this time in the offline setting. Tuesday March 25, 6 PM UTC.

Join us tomorrow for Zakaria's seminar! We are really looking forward to it :)

Note that this is one hour later than usual in countries that already adjusted the clock. E.g. US and Canada..
Another week, another seminar. This time with David ! See you tomorrow at 6 PM UTC

Hope to see many of you for our seminar today ! :)

Next week we will host Jongmin ! Join us to learn how value iteration can be improved ;)

this breakthrough would not have been possible without the work of @AsafCassel and @aviv_rosenberg, and the @RLtheory seminars where i have learned about their very clever trick for avoiding value-function truncations in policy optimization methods x.com/RLtheory/statu…
Tomorrow at 6 PM UTC, Asaf Cassel will talk about "Warm-Up Free Policy Optimization: Improved Regret in Linear Markov Decision Processes".
We are back today with a presentation of Itai Shufaro! 6 PM UTC

Happy new year! Upcoming: 01/07: Jean Tarbouriech 01/14: Adrienne Tuynman 01/21: Victor Boone 02/18: Itai Sufaro 02/25: Jongmin Lee 03/04: Dhruv Rohatgi 03/11: David Cheikhi 03/18: Zakaria Mhammedi 03/25: Vlad Tkachuk

Tomorrow at 6 PM UTC, Yaqi Duan will talk about "Taming « data-hungry » RL? Stability in continuous state-action spaces".
