Postdoc at @UMontreal & @Mila_Quebec in causal learning for robots and embodied AI. Prior stops at @CMU_Robotics, @nvidia, LM Space ATC, & Uber ATG.
Curious how causality can help learn interpretable and robust skills for manipulation? Please visit our work on SCALE tomorrow (Nov 9) at CoRL Poster Session 5 at 2:45pm ET! A thread 🧵 (1/4) #CoRL2023 Website: sites.google.com/view/scale-cau… @corl_conf @CMU_Robotics @iamlab_cmu

Finally, a good modern book on causality for ML: causalai-book.net by @eliasbareinboim. This looks like a worthy successor to the ground breaking book by @yudapearl which I read in grad school. (h/t @JoshuaSafyan for the ref).
Is "scaling is all you need" the right path for robotics? Announcing our @corl_conf workshop on "Resource-Rational Robot Learning", where we will explore how to build efficient intelligent systems that learn & thrive under real-world constraints. Submission deadline: Aug 8 🧵
🚨 We’re thrilled to announce our NeurIPS 2025 workshop: CausCien: Uncovering Causality in Science 🔍✨ We’re uniting ML + science communities to explore how causal learning advances: 🌿 Ecology 🧬 Biology 📊 Social Science & more! 📝 Submit by Aug 22 👉 sites.google.com/view/causcien
I am hiring another postdoc for my lab. Consider applying if you have #foundationalmodels, #robotics, or #reinforcementlearning skills. You will help create generalist real-world agents (robots) with a team of 20 working on these problems and overly competitive go-karting.
I had a wonderful time visiting @GTrobotics to present my work on "Planning What to Learn". Thank you @MatthewGombolay for inviting. @core_robotics is doing fantastic inter-disciplinary work on robot skill learning, multi-agent RL and HRI. Slides @ tinyurl.com/ykphcwt9
OpenAI's Sora has reignited discussions on causal reasoning in today's ML systems. Seems a binary divide: do they have causal reasoning/a world model? Or not? But reality is much more complicated. Here's a 🧵summarizing last year's research on generative models and causality.
Thank you so much @talkingrobotics (Riddhi, Nitin, @srjkrish, & @si_tulli) for inviting me to talk about our work in SCALE and causal skill learning as a part of Talking Robotics #71! I'm so grateful for the opportunity, and it was a blast! 🤖
Thanks so much for the wonderful opportunity to share our work! Looking forward to it! 🤖
