ALOE Workshop

The Agent Learning in Open-Endedness Workshop at NeurIPS 2023

[ALOE Workshop @aloeworkshop]

🌱 The 2nd Agent Learning in Open-Endedness Workshop will be held at NeurIPS 2023 (Dec 10–16) in magnificent New Orleans. ⚜️

If your research considers learning in open-ended settings, consider submitting your work (by 11:59 PM Sept. 29th, AoE).

Great to see my writing from over 2 years ago still resonates enough to inspire a new team at GDM, and is even used verbatim in the job listing. 🥲

Exciting news! Our QDHF paper has been accepted at #ICML2024! Huge thanks to incredible coauthors: @jennyzhangzt, @jeffclune, Lee Spector, and @joelbot3000. Stay tuned for updates on arXiv with our latest findings!

Here is a YouTube link to my #NeurIPS2023 invited talk "Open-ended and AI-generating Algorithms in the Era of Foundation Models." Includes exciting new OMNI results in an infinite task space. Lmkwyt! https://t.co/x7JXxxtbqG @NeurIPSConf @aloeworkshop @gcrl_workshop @jsuarez

Q: Why is it an exciting time to do research in open-ended learning?

A: Because of all of you! 🫵 (well said, @jeffclune)

Thanks to all who took part in the ALOE Workshop. It truly felt like a special community today. See you next year!

Open-Endedness is the friends we make along the way ♥️ — thanks to everyone who participated in the @ALOEworkshop today!

Good panel is good. (On open-endedness, at @aloeworkshop #NeurIPS2023)

If you want to know how to generate an infinity of simple meta-Reinforcement Learning tasks (but rich enough to include standard domains like Harlow, bandits, 2-step, etc.), come to the ALOE workshop poster session tomorrow (Friday 1pm, Room 211-213).

Wondering whether LLMs have enough social intelligence for real-life scenarios? Me and @gneubig @ybisk @dan_fried are presenting our latest SOTOPIA benchmark at @aloeworkshop poster session (12/15 12:45pm-1:45 Room 211) Happy to chat about human-AI interaction, social and embodied agents, open-ended learning etc! #NeurIPS2023 #sociallearning

[Stefanos Nikolaidis @snikolaidis19]

I will be giving a talk tomorrow at 2:45 at the @aloeworkshop at @neurips on “Algorithmic Scenario Generation as Quality Diversity Optimization”, come and check it out!

[ALOE Workshop @aloeworkshop]

Stefanos will talk about his research on QD scenario generation in depth at ALOE. His talk begins at 2:45 PM CT on Dec 15th (Room 211 – 213).

[ALOE Workshop @aloeworkshop]

As AI becomes more ubiquitous, human-AI collaboration will become more important than ever. Our invited speaker, Stefanos Nikolaidis @snikolaidis19, professor at @USC, is a key innovator in this area, especially with respect to human-robot collaboration.

[ALOE Workshop @aloeworkshop]

Recently, Stefanos's lab @icaroslab released @pyribs (led by @btjanaka), a fast and comprehensive set of QD baselines, including CMA-ME, MEGA, and other methods. https://t.co/xHGKO2448y

[Jeff Clune @jeffclune]

My @aloeworkshop talk will be tomorrow at 2:15 on "Open-ended and AI-generating Algorithms in the Era of Foundation Models." Please stop by if interested!

[Julian Togelius @togelius]

Very proud of @MasterMilkX, who will be an invited speaker at the ALOE workshop at NeurIPS on Friday. Come see M talk, they have a ton of interesting stuff in open-ended and mixed-initiative creative AI to talk about! Also, M is on the job market this season.
