I'm super excited about this PhD work of mine, "Multi Time Scale World Models", which has been accepted to Neurips 2023 as a spotlight (Top 3% of all submitted papers). Details are in the thread below. (1/6)

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

Having great pleasure from presenting our work in temporally correlated RL (github.com/BruceGeLi/TCE_…) in #ICLR2024 and enjoying a lot of fun in #Vienna

7th grade ?😅Impressed

Excited to share 4 accepted NeurIPS papers from our team. Amazing work and congratz to the team! Looking forward to seeing everyone in New Orleans :)

The paper will be available on openreview.net in the next few days with a source code. Last but not least many thanks to my supervisor Prof Gerhard Neumann @geri_neumann and colleagues at @alr_lab_kit for their incredible support over the years of my Ph.D. 🙂 (6/6)

If you are working in the areas of multi-task/continual learning, long-horizon predictions and control/planning, this paper would be interesting to you. (5/6)
