Today's wordle made me feel warm. Wordle 1,646 2/6 ⬛🟨🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Despite some of its flaws, OpenReview has had a tremendously positive impact on our research community. This is a great initiative! Join me, and many others, in donating to ensure OpenReview not only remains a positive force, but is able to improve.

This #NeurIPS2025 was tiring, but it was fantastic to connect with so many friends and colleagues! I was so busy I didn't get a chance to tweemote our papers at the conference, so I'll remedy that with this post-hoc thread: 👇🏾

Sixth, and last, #runconference at #NeurIPS2025 had the best turnout yet! Thanks to everyone who came out, until the next conference! The second picture is of those who stayed until the end 😅🏅 🤖🏃🏾👋🏾

Fifth #runconference at #NeurIPS2025 , good turnout again! Tomorrow is the last run (at least with me), so if you've had FOMO this week, you have one more chance! 🤖🏃🏾

Fourth #runconference at #NeurIPS2025 had the best turnout yet! Help us beat it tomorrow, same place, same time (follow tweet thread for details)! 🤖🏃🏾

Third #runconference at #NeurIPS2025 was great, including special guest @JeffDean ! Same place, same time, tomorrow morning if you want to join! 🤖🏃🏾 (I forgot to post yesterday's pic, so including it here)

. @roger-creus.bsky.social and @johanobandoc.bsky.social did an awesome job presenting our paper at the LatinX in AI workshop at #NeurIPS . If you missed it, come to our poster #310 on Friday 11am, exhibit hall C,D,E.

Join us tomorrow at #runconference for #NeurIPS2015, same time, same place (see quoted thread for details)! It was three of us this morning but I forgot to take a picture before we separated, so here's a selfie to prove we actually went out 🤭 Hope to see more of you tomorrow!

Just landed in San Diego for #NeurIPS2025 ! If anyone wants to join me for #runconference tomorrow, meet me at the pin at 7:00am. We'll play distance and pace by ear, based on who shows up See you then! 🤖🏃🏾 maps.app.goo.gl/W7fedHdpsrFn...

Today's wordle was received as a gift. Wordle 1,622 2/6 ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

My lab is looking for new students who are very passionate about foundational models and planning/RL/robotics. Apply via Mila. I will also be at #NeurIPS to discuss research ideas and opportunities. See notes below for application advice.

🚨The Formalism-Implementation Gap in RL research🚨 Lots of progress in RL research over last 10 years, but too much performance-driven => overfitting to benchmarks (like the ALE). 1⃣ Let's advance science of RL 2⃣ Let's be explicit about how benchmarks map to formalism 1/X

Proud to announce that Meta-World+ was accepted to NeurIPs, Datasets and Benchmarks! Meta-World is a common benchmark for multi-task and meta-RL research! However, it was very difficult to do effective science with Meta-World as different versions produce different results.

🔊Simplicial Embeddings (SEMs) Improve Sample Efficiency in Actor-Critic Agents🔊 In our recent preprint we demonstrate that the use of well-structured representations (SEMs) can dramatically improve sample efficiency in RL agents. 1/X

Very excited to be able to talk about something I've been working on for a while now - we're working with Commonwealth Fusion Systems, IMO the leading fusion startup in the world, to take our work on AI and tokamaks and make it work at the frontier of fusion energy. deepmind.google/discover/blo...

Hello everyone 👋 Good news! 🚨 Our Game Theory & Multiagent Systems team at Google DeepMind is hiring! 🚨 .. and we have not one, but two open positions! One Research Scientist role and one Research Engineer role. 😁 Please repost and tell anyone who might be interested! Details in thread below 👇

this was a really great workshop at @rl-conference.bsky.social , and i enjoyed giving a talk and moderating a panel there. everything was recorded, so if you weren't able to join, you can watch it now, link below.

📢MARK YOUR CALENDARS!🗓️ The Summit of AI in Latin America (SALA, formerly RIIAA) is happening in Quito, Ecuador, March 9-12, 2026, at USFQ! Want to attend and apply for travel grants? Do so here before October 1st: forms.gle/PgYUQ2urGNTs... More details in thread 👇🏾🧵

Very happy this work got into #NeurIPS2025, it was a big effort that Reggie led, and I'm glad it was worth the work! We've already been using Meta world+ in a lot of our research, and so should you! Let's chat at #NeurIPS2025 !

Caught my 11yo reading this, I'm so proud.

want to help shape the future of AI in latin america? then don't miss out on @lasalaai.bsky.social next march! the past instances of this event have been truly fantastic, and i'm super pumped for the next one next year. don't miss out and apply today! hope to see you in quito!! ♥️🇪🇨

Today's wordle was pretty minimal Wordle 1,535 2/6 ⬛🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Software engineering isn't dead, it just smells funny.

Yesterday I did a 28.4k trail run and 1300m climb with some good friends (& colleagues). It was absolutely incredible! This was my first trail run, but now I think I'm hooked! #trailrunpostconference

Once again, I leave @rl-conference.bsky.social convinced that it's the best conference out there for RL researchers, such a great week! It was also so great getting the opportunity to see so many of my students shine while presenting and discussing their research!

Did the last #runconference @rl-conference.bsky.social this morning, fun as always. Until the next time (NeurIPS?)!

Was great listening to Turing award winner Rich Sutton tell us about his vision for the future of RL (and AI) @rl-conference.bsky.social !

Great talk by Peter Dayan @rl-conference.bsky.social exploring the "open marriage" between natural and engineered reinforcement learning.

Great #runconference @rl-conference.bsky.social today (even with a little rain), join for the last one tomorrow morning, 6:30am, meet at Garneau Lamp!

😁

today (thu) @rl-conference.bsky.social come see our paper "Optimistic critics can empower small actors" olya and dhruv will present the oral at 11:45am in the deep RL track (CCIS 1-430) and we'll present the poster (poster#8) 3-5:45pm come chat with us about asymmetric actor-critics!

Very honoured that our paper was granted an outstanding paper award for scientific understanding in RL during the @rl-conference.bsky.social banquet! @reggiemclean.bsky.social and Evangelos deserve the bulk of the credit, so congrats to them and all the other awards winners!

Super thought-provoking talk by Dale Schuurmans @rl-conference.bsky.social on LLMs and computation, and why value-based RL doesn't (or can't?) work for post-training.

Second #runconference today went well, join us tomorrow same place (Garneau Lamp), same time (6:30am)!

today (wed) @rl-conference.bsky.social come see our paper "Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning Enables Parameter Scaling" @reggiemclean.bsky.social will give oral at 10:20am in CCIS 1-160 and we'll present the poster 3-5:45pm come chat! rlj.cs.umass.edu/2025/papers/... bsky.app/profile/regg...

Great first #runconference @rl-conference.bsky.social this morning! Join us tomorrow, 6:30am at the Garneau Lamp for a run (see screenshot or pin below): maps.app.goo.gl/pcD8rELSMBaz...

(mostly) unrelated to workshops, i'll be going for a run tomorrow at 6:30am. i know it's super early, but i want to make it in time for the workshops! if you want to join, i'll be starting my run outside the metterra hotel maps.app.goo.gl/v7yDV4dZAwve... #runconference #rlc2025

in edmonton for @rl-conference.bsky.social ! i'm giving a couple of talks in two workshops tomorrow, and moderating a panel in one of them. looking forward to all the discussions! details in thread 👇🏾🧵

Kids, this is the precursor to the save icon 💾

Looking forward to this workshop @rl-conference.bsky.social ! I wish I could clone myself, because there are so many good workshops that will be happening at the same time

it's extra work, but i really enjoy making creative posters. these are the two i made for #ICML2025 last week. i just sent another poster to get printed with a design i'm excited to hang on the poster boards @rl-conference.bsky.social next month! 😃

One of my favorite things at #ICML2025 was seeing so many Ecuadorians! These were taken at the LatinX in AI workshop at the start of the week. 🇪🇨

Last #runconference at #ICML2025 (at least for me). Was great running with new and old friends this week, and looking forward to another set of runs at @RL_Conference in August!

Third #runconference ! Last one (for me) tomorrow, join us at 7am in tourist info booth just outside convention center!

Second #runconference also fun, beautiful running next to ocean! Join us tomorrow at 7am again, same place!

Come by West Exhibition Hall B2-B3 #W-702 at 11am to talk to @johanobandoc.bsky.social and me about churn and plasticity loss in RL!
