I will be presenting a poster at RLDM on Wednesday @ 4:30pm. We show that embedding an agent implicitly constrains both it and the environment. We use this constraint to characterize continual adaptation. lewandowskialex.com/papers/files/l… Feel free to reach out if you're attending RLDM!
🚨 We extended Finding the Frame's submission deadline to June 15 AoE! 🚨 ✨We're looking for bold ideas that rethink the foundations of RL: goals, values, rewards, formalisms, and beyond🚀 More details: sites.google.com/view/findingth… See you @RL_Conference !
🚨 Reminder! Submissions for @RL_Conference's Finding the Frame are due May 30 (AoE)! We're looking for bold ideas that rethink the foundations of RL: goals, values, rewards, formalisms, and beyond. 🧠Philosophy, theory, critique welcome! 🔗More details: sites.google.com/view/findingth…
I will be presenting two posters at ICLR that outlines an optimization perspective on loss of plasticity. Come check them out on Thursday and Friday @ 10am. Also, feel free to reach out to chat about continual, meta and/or reinforcement learning.
After last year's success, Finding the Frame is back at #RLC2025 🚀! Do you want to rethink the conceptual foundations of RL? Define new problems, challenge assumptions, or test the limits of RL paradigms? Join us! Submit by: 30th May 2025, AoE Guidelines: sites.google.com/view/findingth…
Our NeurIPS paper is now on arXiv: We introduce Action Value Gradient (AVG), a novel incremental deep RL method that learns in real-time, one sample at a time — no batch updates, target networks or a replay buffer! Co-authors @mhmd_elsaye @bellingerc @white_martha @rupammahmood
✨Recordings of Finding the Frame Workshop at @RL_Conference 2024 are now up on our website!✨ sites.google.com/view/findingth…
October 22 tune in with our community-led Reinforcement Learning group who will be hosting @ejmejm1 for a presentation on "Discrete Representations for Continual Reinforcement Learning." 🤔
Yesterday there was a completely-student-organized summit of the RLAI (Reinforcement Learning and Artificial Intelligence) research group at the University of Alberta, held at the lovely Amii headquarters. Nice folks and diverse new ideas!
Learning about the history of RL at the birthplace of RL from the founders of RL at the first @RL_Conference! What a privilege!
Tomorrow, our community-led RL group is bringing in Alex Lewandowski for a presentation on "Learning Continually by Spectral Regularization." 💫 Learn more: cohere.com/events/cohere-…
Why isn't there a "cite" button on the "View Article" page in scholar? (The page that comes up when you click on a paper in someone's scholar profile)
If you are submitting a paper on continual learning to NeurIPS: what did you put as the primary area?
First physical book purchase in a while! I usually prefer audiobooks for the convenience, but I figured the details may be lost on me without the text @seanmcarroll
🚨Announcing 🫸Finding the Frame🫷: an @RL_Conference workshop for examining conceptual frameworks in RL!🚨 Do you want to question formulations or practices in RL? Define new problems, challenge assumptions, or test the limits of RL paradigms? Join us! sites.google.com/view/findingth…
We have built DeepStack, the first AI to beat humans in no-limit poker. We are now building the next generation AI company for algorithmic trading! We are growing our research and engineering team. If you want to work with a world class AI team led by ex-DeepMind researchers and…
Roses are Red, Violets are Blue; Don’t Forget to Submit, (Tomorrow) on OpenReview!
if you really want to discover what Q* is, you should read the sacred tome, Sutton and Barto incompleteideas.net/book/the-book-…
Thrilled to announce the first annual Reinforcement Learning Conference @RL_Conference, which will be held at UMass Amherst August 9-12! RLC is the first strongly peer-reviewed RL venue with proceedings, and our call for papers is now available: rl-conference.cc.
