The cool thing about setting an assignment for MSc students on writing AI players for board games is that you get to run game sessions to teach the game. A bit of Sushi Go! before lunch time sounds appropriate. @GameAI_QMUL @tag_framework

[Diego Perez-Liebana @diego_pliebana]

QMUL is hiring 30 faculty at all levels (lecturer/senior lect/reader/professor) on several science fields, including AI/ML/Data Science. This includes groups like our @GameAI_QMUL at @QMEECS. Wanna come join us? We have games and cookies. Application here: https://t.co/mTccX6hNBQ

Today I've passed my PhD viva! :)

Many thanks to be given, saved for my very long thesis acknowledgements - here I'll thank @diego_pliebana @SimonMarkLucas and @smdvln as my awesome supervision team, and @yannakakis and @arnavjhala for a great viva experience!

[Project Malmo @Project_Malmo]

Glad to see @GameAI_QMUL developed an excellent repo on top of me focused on Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning scenario. More examples to show how to work with Malmo in both single and multi-agent setups using RLlib. https://t.co/7o7hxIajIH

[Dr. Raluca D. Gaina @b_gum22]

I did an interview a little while ago on my PhD experience - might be interesting if you're thinking of doing a PhD, or are curious about my random stories!

The website also has several other interviews with a few @iggiphd students, check them out! :)
