Excited to share a new preprint based on my work this past year:
**TreeIRL** is a novel planner that combines classical search with learning-based methods to achieve state-of-the-art performance in simulation and in **real-world autonomous driving**! 🚘 🤖 🚀

Competitive integration of time and reward explains value-sensitive foraging decisions and frontal cortex ramping dynamics
Bukwich and Campbell et al. show that mice integrate elapsed time and reward intake,
scaled by a latent patience variable, to decide when to leave virtual “patches.” Frontal
cortex ramping activity ma...
