@erikwijmans @ManolisSavva @stefmlee @irrfaan @DhruvBatraDB I'm especially pleased by this quote from the award committee regarding our paper: “I hope that the demonstrated rigor in building up an argument towards answering questions about learned representations will inform future studies across the ICLR community.”

A thought-experiment to inspire scientists is to ask: If you could write only 20 papers in your lifetime, would your current work be one of them? This is one of my 20. arxiv.org/abs/2301.13261 wijmans.xyz/publication/eo… 🧵👇

📣 New paper: Emergence of Maps in the Memories of Blind Navigation Agents Humans have the ability to navigate poorly lit spaces by relying on touch and memory. Our research shows that blind AI agents can learn to do the same. Read the paper ➡️ bit.ly/40evpCh

Want to learn how to combine the best of both sync and async on-policy RL? I'll be presenting our paper at #NeurIPS2022 tomorrow at 4pm (Hall J #917) describing how. Thread bellow if you just want the answer now :)

Pre-training robots in simulation (@ai_habitat) is a safe scalable approach, but can require 1000s of GPU-hours. In their upcoming #NeurIPS2022 paper @DhruvBatraDB and team present a new system for distributed reinforcement learning. bit.ly/3CVawCp
