Excited to share RL2Grid, an RL benchmark for power grid operations ⚡ We present tasks and environments for grid topology optimization, an important challenge in power systems that encompasses a number of open research questions in RL. Check it out! More details below ⬇️

Our paper on detecting abandoned oil wells with machine learning, led by @pratinavseth.bsky.social, is accepted at ICML 2025! These wells are a major source of emissions (and groundwater pollution). More details in the thread, and preprint here: arxiv.org/abs/2410.09032

Should LLMs be used to review papers? AAAI is piloting LLM-generated reviews this year. I wrote a blog post arguing that using LLMs as reviewers can have bad downstream consequences for science by centralizing judgments about what constitutes good research. bryanwilder.github.io/files/llmrev...

I started to put together a starter pack for research in AI+Ecology, check it out and let me know if you would like to be added! go.bsky.app/8zugFF6
