This year, ICML received over 12,000 submissions, and only 313 were selected for spotlight presentations – placing our paper in the top 2.6% most highly recommended by the program committee. I’m proud to see Pedro’s work recognized at this level!

[Alberto Sardinha @ASardinhaAI]

Excited to share that our paper “The Number of Trials Matters in Infinite-Horizon General-Utility Markov Decision Processes” has been accepted as a spotlight poster at ICML 2025! ICML is one of the top-tier conferences in AI and M L (CORE A* and featured in CSRankings).
