Inspired by his father’s study of neural networks, #UWAllen CS and Philosophy major @andreiskiii.bsky.social taught himself the subject on his way to enrolling in UW at age 15. He just won a @pdsoros.bsky.social Fellowship to pursue a Ph.D. at MIT in #AI. pdsoros.org/fellows/andr... #HuskyExperience

Interested in retrieving (sub-)trajectories from enormous datasets like DROID? 🦣

Check out our retrieval code using DTW and vision foundation model features!

Code: github.com/WEIRDLabUW/S...
Website: weirdlabuw.github.io/strap
STRAP retrieves semantically meaningful trajectories on large datasets like DROID making it a powerful general-purpose algorithm for robot trajectory retrieval!

Have some offline data lying around? Use it to robustify few-shot imitation learning! 🤖

STRAP 🎒 is a retrieval-based method that leverages semantic sub-trajectories in offline datasets to augment the training data.

the science of LMs should be fully open✨

today @akshitab.bsky.social @natolambert.bsky.social and I are giving our #neurips2024 tutorial on language model development.

everything from data, training, adaptation. published or not, no secrets 🫡

We’ve been investigating how sim, while wrong, can be useful for real-world robotic RL! In our #NeurIPS2024 work, we theoretically showed how naive sim2real transfer can be inefficient, but if you *learn to explore* in sim, this transfers to the real world! We show this works on real robots! 🧵(1/6)

I'm excited about scaling up robot learning! We’ve been scaling up data gen with RL in realistic sims generated from crowdsourced videos. Enables data collection far more cheaply than real world teleop. Importantly, data becomes *cheaper* with more environments and transfers to real robots! 🧵 (1/N)
