📣 Reinforcement Learning Summer School is returning to Milan in 2026! Co-organized with @ellisunitmilan.bsky.social & designed for Master's and PhD students on RL theory, multi-agent systems, RL & LLMs, real-world applications... 📍 Milan 🇮🇹 📅 3-12 June ⏰ Apply by 27 March 🔗 https://bit.ly/4b2Plhp

Reading group TOMORROW 3-4pm UK! Joe Marino (Google DeepMind) will present SIMA 2, a generalist embodied agent designed to operate across a wide range of 3D virtual worlds 🌎 Join here: edinburgh-rl.github.io/reading-group

I'll be giving a talk at Cohere Labs about my research on decision making agents and world models at Microsoft Research! 📅 January 20th (Tomorrow!) 5pm GMT/ 6pm CET/ 9am PST 📍 Online (link below) Everyone is welcome! Link via calendar invite and more details: cohere.com/events/coher...

This piece’s suggestions gave me the same positive feeling of @rl-conference.bsky.social’s cover page. Wondering if the next edition can incorporate some of these ideas

Absolutely essential piece by @kevinbaker.bsky.social critiquing AI automation of science by pulling back the curtain on what modern science actually is. LLMs already replicate and accelerate its irrational bureaucratic structure.

🎤 Announcing the 3rd workshop on Reinforcement Learning in Mannheim 🎤 We have an amazing lineup of speakers: @Mathieugeist, @gio_ramponi, Theresa Eimer, @SarahKeren_, @araffin2, @c_rothkopf, and @AdrienBolland ⏰ Friday 6th February 📍University of Mannheim

(1/N) (Unsupervised) pre-training turned out not to be such a bad idea. In our @neuripsconf.bsky.social paper, we investigate what the right objective is when pre-training in MARL without rewards.

📢 RL reading group TODAY @ 15:00 BST (in 2 hours!) 📢 Speakers: Olya Mastikhina and Dhruv Sreenivas (University of Montreal & Mila - Quebec AI Institute) Title: Optimistic critics can empower small actors🦸 Details: edinburgh-rl.github.io/reading-group

📢 RL reading group Thursday @ 16:00 BST 📢 Speaker: Alex Lewandowski Title: The World Is Bigger: A Computationally-Embedded Perspective on the Big World Hypothesis 🌍 Details: edinburgh-rl.github.io/reading-group

I really believe this work to be the tip of the iceberg! If you are at @rl-conference.bsky.social, please don’t mind disturbing Kale-ab as much as possible!

Loved to see these (5!!!) papers around, I really do hope it won’t turn out to be a cult.

At #ICML2025, we will present a theoretical justification for the benefits of « asymmetric actor-critic » algorithms (#W1008 Wednesday at 11am). 📝 Paper: hdl.handle.net/2268/326874 💻 Blog: damien-ernst.be/2025/06/10/a...

I am in Vancouver at ICML, and tomorrow I will present our newest paper "Partially Observable Reinforcement Learning with Memory Traces". We argue that eligibility traces are more effective than sliding windows as a memory mechanism for RL in POMDPs. 🧵

The RL & Agents Reading Group is back with a new style 💇‍♂️! Really recommend joining the mailing list to get to know the great upcoming talks like Mattie’s

🌟🌟Good news for the explorers🗺️! Next week we will present our paper “Enhancing Diversity in Parallel Agents: A Maximum Exploration Story” with V. De Paola, @mircomutti.bsky.social and M. Restelli at @icmlconf.bsky.social! (1/N)

For many, the Indaba was their first exposure to ML/AI, and this helps give more people that opportunity. Please donate if you can: gofund.me/61b012e4

🚨🚨🚨 At the RL group (rl.airlab.deib.polimi.it) in Milan, Alberto M. Metelli is hiring! Postdocs and PhD students to work on the theory and practice of human feedback in RL. When: starting this Fall. Deadline: May 31st. A great person to work with, my word. Spread the word!

Working on something cool in RL? Submit it to EWRL! We’ll be opening submissions soon — and this year we’re introducing a fast track for papers already accepted at other conferences! 🚀 Check out the full Call for Papers on the website: euro-workshop-on-reinforcement-learning.github.io/ewrl18/

⏰⏰Theory of Interpretable AI Seminar ⏰⏰ In two weeks, April 8, Mirco Mutti will talk about "A Classification View on Meta Learning Bandits"

The call for workshops is out. Now may be a bit busy but the deadline is on March 7th so there’s time :) Send us your great ideas for 1-day workshops at RLC!

my 4th phd student @nnekaokolo4.bsky.social just graduated today. i have no words for how proud i am of her and the work we've done together

We recently asked the authors to do a talk on this - m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmdn... . A lot of awesome gems (goal focused rl research, don't waste your time, etc) 🔥 Thanks for bringing this to my attention @brandonrohrer.com !

📚🧵1/7 It is finally here!! Only one more week until the print release of our textbook “Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning: Foundations and Modern Approaches” with @mitpress.bsky.social! What you get, why you should be interested and more, all below in a short 🧵👇
