Is there a hyperparameter crisis in reinforcement learning? Let's talk about it at NeurIPS. #NeurIPS2024

[AI for Drug Discovery and Development @AI4D3]

@UAlberta is doing an AI Cohort Hire for 20+ faculty positions all across campus, with a specific focus on AI+Science, e.g., drug discovery.  Successful candidates will be nominated for a CIFAR AI Chair with generous funding!  Find out more: https://t.co/vuvU03JCa1.

I was evacuated from #Jasper while camping with my husband and two young kids this week. This is my #jasperwildfire story. We arrived at Wabasso campground Sunday afternoon. It was 34 degrees, and the man at the check in booth was sweating profusely in the heat. He (1/22)

While there's real concerns about generative AI and game dev, there's also so many new opportunities for radically new game experiences. Can't wait to see what's next, @ArtificialAgncy.

[Michael Bowling @MichaelHBowling]

Super excited that I've gotten to see behind the scenes of what they're doing. This is an amazing team (and I've been lucky to work with many of them) doing amazing things!

[Artificial.Agency @ArtificialAgncy]

The future of gaming is here! Today we officially emerged from stealth and announced $16M (USD) in funding. Thanks to our investors (@radicalvcfund, @Toyota_Ventures, @flyingfishVC and others) and our incredible team for getting us here. Let's go!

Are rewards always observable to the agent?
At #AAMAS 2024, I'll present Mon-MDP a novel framework where rewards are not always observable to the agent

[RL_Conference @RL_Conference]

Thrilled to announce the first annual Reinforcement Learning Conference @RL_Conference, which will be held at UMass Amherst August 9-12!
RLC is the first strongly peer-reviewed RL venue with proceedings, and our call for papers is now available: https://t.co/QiZcJYM1MR.

[John D. Martin @jdmartin86]

Excited to announce our @RL_Conference workshop, Finding the Frame 🖼️.

We encourage submissions reflecting broadly on the conceptual foundations of RL and their impact on framing problems.

See the thread below and follow our account for more info!

This is a great team doing great stuff!

[Martin Schmid @Lifrordi]

We have built DeepStack, the first AI to beat humans in no-limit poker.
We are now building the next generation AI company for algorithmic trading!
We are growing our research and engineering team.
If you want to work with a world class AI team led by ex-DeepMind researchers and engineers.
If you want to build something that has never been done before - join us.

@TheEsraaSaleh @pcastr @apsarathchandar @AaronCourville @GlenBerseth @khimya @white_martha @MarlosCMachado Thanks @TheEsraaSaleh. It’s an honour to be on a list with such esteemed company.

[Michael Bowling @MichaelHBowling]

@GlenBerseth @RL_Conference I’m really excited for this! We as a community can make this awesome!

[finbarr @finbarrtimbers]

after many years of work, I've very excited that our general game playing algorithm, Student of Games, is being published in Science Advances today

in it, we present a general algorithm for games of both perfect and imperfect information

(work was done while I was at DeepMind)

@AmiiThinks @ID_AA_Carmack I'm super excited to get to sit down with one of the first innovators to blow my mind🤯... all the way back in the summer of 1992. #wolfenstein3d

[Michael Bowling @MichaelHBowling]

@TheEsraaSaleh 🚀I have no doubts.
