Ass. Prof. @UZH_en @uzh_ifi, PI @ ALPILab 🌼 Working on RL, multi-agent, imitation learning, and other sequential decision-making stuff @gioramponi.bsky.social
🔥 I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining the University of Zurich @UZH_ch as an Assistant Professor in Machine Learning next year! I'll be supervising PhD students, so stay tuned for updates on my website, or feel free to reach out via email.
Meet the recipients of the 2024 ACM A.M. Turing Award, Andrew G. Barto and Richard S. Sutton! They are recognized for developing the conceptual and algorithmic foundations of reinforcement learning. Please join us in congratulating the two recipients! bit.ly/4hpdsbD
2024 @TheOfficialACM A.M. Turing Award recipients @RichardSSutton and Andrew G. Barto discuss their #careers and their work on reinforcement learning in an #original #video at bit.ly/43fpe4q
Can agents learn to play a Nash equilibrium just by watching expert behavior? Look at our new preprint to find out!
Finally, we have expert sample complexity bounds in multi agent imitation learning! arxiv.org/pdf/2505.17610 Joint work with @TFreihaut, @CevherLIONS, Matthieu and @gio_ramponi
I won’t be at AAMAS, but come meet @pa_friedrich who’s presenting our work on tacit collusion in learning agents! We show how RL algorithms learn to collude in markets with inventory limits and expiring goods, like airline tickets or hotel rooms
At #AAMAS25 in Detroit this week and presenting my work with @pasztorb & @gio_ramponi Thursday afternoon - if you're here, let's connect and chat about learned algorithmic collusion, or go for a morning run!
We have an *opening for a PhD student* in my group on machine learning generalization "out-of-table". Help build methods that learn from large volumes of tabular data to generate models for new tasks! Apply here: chalmers.se/en/about-chalm…
Come to chat with us at the poster session!
RL for real-world applications = offline learning + reward learning. How do we make this work? Find out more at ICLR poster #377 at 10am today! @gio_ramponi and I will be presenting our latest work on offline preference-based RL (joint w/ @gxr, @bschoelkopf).
In Singapore from tomorrow for #ICLR2025! Excited to talk about RL, imitation learning, multi-agent systems, RLHF, and all things
Last days for applying for our open positions in Responsible and Trustworthy AI at the University of Zurich as (tenure-track, associate or full) professor!
📢At the Institute of Informatics, University of Zurich @uzh_ifi we are hiring! Open position for a professorship (no rank, i.e. tenured-track, associate or full) in Responsible and Trustworthy AI ifi.uzh.ch/en/department/…

Last week, Alizee took the stage to present our latest work on offline preference-based RL, where we combined optimism and pessimism to learn in a fully offline setting Happy to share that this work will also be present at #ICLR2025
Last Friday, I had the pleasure of giving an invited talk at the workshop on Reinforcement Learning in Mannheim, Germany! I presented recent work on offline preference-based reinforcement learning, aiming to make RL more practical for real-world applications like healthcare.
I am not attending #NeurIPS this year, but Vinzenz Thoma and @pasztorb yes :) Come to chat about our recent work on "Contextual Bilevel Reinforcement Learning for Incentive Alignment" 🗓️ Thu 12 Dec 11 a.m
We’re excited to host @gio_ramponi from @UZH_en this week. Join us to learn about “Theory of Imitation Learning: from single to multi-agent systems”. See you all there!
On Monday the 18th, I'll be giving my inaugural lecture! If you're in Zurich and interested, please join! :)
Inaugural lecture: @gio_ramponi will present an overview of fundamental concepts in learning for sequential decision-making. On Monday, 18 November 2024, 19:30, Aula! Giorgia Ramponi heads the Autonomous Learning and Predictive Intelligence Lab (ALPI). ifi.uzh.ch/en/news/giorgi…
Great opportunity if it aligns with your interests!
PLS SHARE: I'm hiring a PhD student to work on ML theory, to begin in Fall 2025. Topics include: generalization bounds & statistical inference via online prediction, representation learning via optimal transport, sequential decision making... More info: cs.bme.hu/~gergo/jobs.ht…
Last Sunday, we competed in the Vision Assistance Race at the @cybathlon 2024—the "cyber Olympics" designed to push the boundaries of assistive technology. In this race, our system guided a blind participant through everyday tasks such as walking along a sidewalk, sorting colors,…
