@ylecun @ylecun @AravSrinivas recent Proto-RL (arxiv.org/pdf/2102.11271…) that uses ideas from both CURL and DrQ gets us closer to the LeCake, as it's contrastively learned representations are **fully detached** from RL, besides they can be learned with just the MaxEnt objective.
Happy to share my new work -- Proto-RL, a task-agnostic pre-training scheme that reconciles exploration and representation learning in image-based RL! with: @rob_fergus, Alessandro Lazaric, and @LerrelPinto. paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2102.11271… code: github.com/denisyarats/pr… [1/N]
Excited to share an update to our work on evolutionary-scale modeling (ESM)! Over the past year, we rewrote our paper with better pretraining and downstream models, leading to state-of-the-art results across multiple benchmarks. (1/8) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Very excited to be joining @DeepMind in NYC!

Today we're releasing the structures of over 600M metagenomic proteins—the least understood proteins on earth. A view into the dark matter of the protein universe. Explore the ESM Metagenomic Atlas here: esmatlas.com
Really cool to see that CLIP + Neural Fields can allow for open-ended query solving by robots without any human labels!
How can we train data-efficient robots that can respond to open-ended queries like “warm up my lunch” or “find a blue book”? Introducing CLIP-Field, a semantic neural field trained w/ NO human labels & only w/ web-data pretrained detectors, VLMs, and LLMs mahis.life/clip-fields
ESM-2 language models are now public!

RL is supposed to be slow and inefficient, right? Turns out that carefully implemented model-free RL can learn to walk from scratch in the real world in under 20 minutes! We took our robot for a "walk in the park" to test out our implementation. sites.google.com/berkeley.edu/w… thread->
Almost a year to the day, @PrescientDesign joined @genentech, a fledgling journey that I've been fortunate to be a part of. Today, as the next step, Prescient has officially launched our NY HQ at 149 5th Ave in the Flatiron! Stop by if you're in the area and want to chat with us!
I just officially started my appointment @PrincetonCS and couldn't be more excited! Current status: wandering around Princeton figuring out how to buy GPUs #newPI
We just released ROT, a new imitation learning algorithm that can learn vision-based robotic policies with just 1 demonstration, 1 hour of interactive learning and without any pre-training! Project: rot-robot.github.io w/ @haldar_siddhant,@Vaibhavheretoo,@denisyarats (1/N)
I got tenure! I’m very grateful to my students, collaborators, mentors, colleagues, letter writers, research sponsors, friends and family. It’s been an exciting journey, and your support and encouragement means a lot. I’m looking forward to the next chapter!
