Hello LauraNation🐛 !!!
Attending #ICML2025 ? Curious about data augmentation approaches?
Come check out my poster!

🕚 Time: 7/17, 11am-1:30pm
🏙️ Location: W-306

In simpler terms, we choose "equally difficult" augmentations with a quick estimation of model sensitivity.
I'm attending MIT and Boston University's Rising Stars in EECS workshop later this week!! Looking forward to meeting lots and learning lots :)

We've built a simulated driving agent that we trained on 1.6 billion km of driving with no human data.
It is SOTA on every planning benchmark we tried.
In self-play, it goes 20 years between collisions.

I collected some folk knowledge for RL and stuck them in my lecture slides a couple weeks back: web.mit.edu/6.7920/www/l... See Appendix B... sorry, I know, appendix of a lecture slide deck is not the best for discovery. Suggestions very welcome.
