I'm recruiting a Research Scientist or Machine Learning Engineer to join my team at Waymo, working on cutting edge data-driven simulation for autonomous vehicles. waymo.com/joinus/5908400/
🎮 Introducing the new and improved Policy-Guided Diffusion! Vastly more accurate trajectory generation than autoregressive models, with strong gains in offline RL performance! Plus a ton of new theory and results since our NeurIPS workshop paper... Check it out ⤵️
Check out our CVPR workshop on AV simulation.
Check out this year's Waymo Open Dataset Challenges!

When I give my PhD students career advice, I hope they receive it skeptically, for all the reasons outlined in that thread. But when they present work we have done together, I hope they take it seriously and give it their best, out of respect for the work and the audience.

@EugeneVinitsky Let me answer this in a different way. In RL, a more widely-known topic should be residual-gradient model-free algorithms. Within this topic, I've recently been reading and inspired by work from Hengshuai Yao, Hamid Reza Maei, @ShangtongZhang and @braham_snyder.
ordered magnets and the package landed like this
i just spent 8 hours writing rebuttals for a set of reviews that were produced in <1 hour of combined effort of 4 reviewers. if i'm lucky, they may spend another 5 minutes reading it, and MAYBE one of them may raise their score by 1 bit. HOW IS THIS A GOOD USE OF ANYONE'S TIME???
“you’ve got 3 years to own capital before the technosingularity hits”. no you don’t. AI is going to get us another three decades of 3% growth and that’s it. relax. finish your CS degree. invest in a diversified mix of assets. find true love and start a family.
@nathanbenaich What do you mean? Dudes can love Taylor Swift, and women can love accelerators that help them scale their models and get cheaper, faster, inference.
Google Waymo is an unbelievable AI product. After a ride on a self-driving “taxi” in SF, I felt truly emotional about how far the field had advanced. Definitely feeling the AI.
New journal reform just dropped. Greatly improves the efficiency of editorial decision-making, solves reviewer crisis. Bonus: entirely bias-free! (Gift from @maltoesermalte)

When I was a grad student, I participated in the AAAI Doctoral Consortium. I think it was 2006. All the participating students were asked to contribute to a daily blog posted on the AAAI website. Blogging was very hip back then.
