Cold emails are hard and good ones can change a life. Here is my email to @NandoDF that started my career in ML (at the time I was a PM at Google) docs.google.com/document/d/1_u… Real effort (incl feedback) went into drafting it. Thanks to @EugeneVinitsky for nudging me to put it online

How to ensure that an RL agent learns an intended reward? How to detect and amend reward misalignment during learning? In our #IJCAI23 paper we show how an agent can improve alignment using feedback on explanations of its learned reward. ijcai.org/proceedings/20…

There are better ways to communicate a rejection, without disrespecting the author's efforts and contributions. This is rude and can be demotivating, especially for junior researchers.

Real world is too complex to model perfectly. Safety concerns in execution time may not follow Markov property. Our upcoming #AAAI23 paper presents a framework to learn, represent and plan to avoid non-Markovian negative side effects for reliable execution. Preprint coming soon.

At the end of the spring term, I made a to-do list for my summer. I have added 7 tasks to it since then, and managed to complete only 1 so far🤔

If you take all the fields that study intelligent decision making—from neuroscience to AI, psychology to control theory, economics to operations research—do their theories have much in common? I think so, as I explain in this new short paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2202.13252…
