congratulations
was at an event on AI for science yesterday, a panel discussion here at NeurIPS. The panelists discussed how they plan to replace humans at all levels in the scientific process. So I stood up and protested that what they are doing is evil.

yes I like how this paper talks shit about modern MARL methods

found a trend: since like 2021-2, the diversity of academic works hasn't been as large as before

people've (except for some) majorly pivoted to a finite set of topics that could be tightly connected with those financed in production

with capacity of venues growing, it doesn't look as good 4 me

Yes, it is how the things should be
A couple years (!) in the making: we’re releasing a new corpus of embodied, collaborative problem solving dialogues. We paid 36 people to play Portal 2’s co-op mode and collected their speech + game recordings.

We are 7 hours into today's program, but we are not done yet! In just a few minutes Michael Jordan will be giving today's second #EurIPS keynote on "A Collectivist, Economic Perspective on AI". So load up on coffee and see you there! ☕

BTW @tyrellturing.bsky.social there is a classical result between responding to future predictions (when learning in games) and correlated equilibrium called "calibrated learning". I was hoping to show that predictive RL agents could approximate this.

1/ Why does RL struggle with social dilemmas? How can we ensure that AI learns to cooperate rather than compete?

Introducing our new framework: MUPI (Embedded Universal Predictive Intelligence) which provides a theoretical basis for new cooperative solutions in RL.

love autodiff, more autodiff and stochastic gradient estimators

hope to see something more than julialang, however, — c or python
I'm excited to see whether our idea translates to general MC integration over Jacobians and gradients outside of XAI. Please don't hesitate to talk to us if you have ideas for applications!
