Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

Behold, the beautiful result of downloading NeurIPS 2023 code and running it on MNIST!

Hillary Clinton: “You have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump’s actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers”

Just about finished copyediting "Markov Decision Processes and Reinforcement Learning" by Puterman and Chan. Expect it out in June. All chapters of the pre-copyedited version and more are still available at github.com/martyput/MDP.... #RL #OR

Happy to just have deleted my twitter/x account

Preprints of ALL chapters of "Markov Decision Processes and Reinforcement Learning" by Puterman and Chan are now posted at github.com/martyput/MDP.... All feedback and typos are greatly appreciated and will impact the final version. Links will be removed when the book is published. #AI #orms

Chapters 1-7 of our forthcoming book “Markov Decision Processes and Reinforcement Learning” by Puterman and Chan can be dowloaded at: github.com/martyput/MDP.... They cover model foundations, and MDPs. Please share comments and/or typos ASAP. #orms #AI #ReinforcementLearning

An important point about this site is that if you have deep MDP questions, instead of asking an influencer on twitter, you can ask @martypute.bsky.social which is uh, a serious step up

Rick Scott; We'll miss your amazing music and presence in the Vancouver music scene. youtu.be/nlyRiUIAByM?...

A new Trump resort?

In the early part of my career, many said to me: all your work in RL & MDPs will never see applications. They were so wrong...most modern robots are based on RL. And about 1/3rd of the talks at the last INFORMS were on RL and the Bellman equation.

Our forthcoming mdp/rl book should help! #rl #orms

@eugenevinitsky.bsky.social Would you like to meet Thursday at NeurIPS.

If you're at NeurIPS, RLC is hosting an RL event from 8 till late at The Pearl on Dec. 11th. Join us, meet all the RL researchers, and spread the word!

I will be attending @neuripsconf.bsky.social Will any #orms folks be there?

Hi #orms folks. Nice to see you here. Thought I lost you when I left...

I agree.

Who is organizing RLC?

The call for papers for RLC is now up! Abstract deadline of 2/14, submission deadline of 2/21! Please help us spread the word. rl-conference.cc/callforpaper...

Many of those I followed on X are now on bluesky. Looking for more in the operations research community. #operations_research

In case y'all don't know, Google @deep-mind.bsky.social recently released a video documentary about making the #RL algorithm AlphaGo that beat Lee Sedol, the World Champion of Go. Super cool story, check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXuK...

Looking forward to seeing posts from the RL and OR communities.
