@CULLYAntoine @imperialcollege Congratulations! 🎉

Almost exactly 10 years after joining @imperialcollege as a Postdoc, I am honoured to announce that I am now Professor in Machine Learning and Robotics! 👨‍🎓 🤖 My fantastic team found the best gift to celebrate this special occasion!

@vitalisvos19 Congratulations Vitalis!

Thanks a lot, Ed!!! It is definitely an award for the whole lab! 🦾

More information in this 🧵 too! x.com/bryanlimwt/sta…

Had a great time at @ALifeConf this week presenting In-context Quality-Diversity! Feel free to reach out if any of this is interesting #ALIFE2024

Check out more in the paper! 📝: arxiv.org/abs/2404.15794

Compared to other QD algorithms which use a few solutions from the archive for the next offspring (i.e. parents for a mutation/crossover or the init of an ES mean dist.), In-context QD makes greater use of the quality-diverse solutions in the archive for solution generation

💡⚙️ Ideas and inventions are rarely generated and created in isolation 🏝️ We explore using few/many-shot prompting of language models with quality-diverse examples provided from QD algorithms for solution generation for QD problems! Work done with @MFlageat @CULLYAntoine

It’ll be right after the Euro finals ⚽ so come on over after all the excitement/joy/disappointment. See you there! Room 112 if you’re in-person in Melbourne!

We believe there are still many things that all the different ideas and sub-fields of evolution can bring to RL and vice-verca, so the goal of this tutorial is to really encourage that 🚀🚀🚀

Excited to be presenting this year’s edition of Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning (EvoRL) @GeccoConf 🦎🦾 with @MFlageat @CULLYAntoine, which will be a tutorial instead of a workshop! 🧵

@v_vassiliades Thank you Vassilis!

@bryanlimwt @CULLYAntoine Congratulations Bryan!!

Very happy to share that I passed my PhD viva yesterday! Extremely grateful to @CULLYAntoine who has been a great advisor and mentor throughout this journey. Thank you for giving me this opportunity of a lifetime!

@jennyzhangzt Thanks Jenny!!

@bryanlimwt @CULLYAntoine Congratulations Bryan!!! Excited to see what else you do Adding to your fun fact, Antoine went through C++ code with me line by line when I first joined

@nrkcv Thanks Nemanja!!

@bryanlimwt @CULLYAntoine Congrats Bryan! Well deserved 🎉

@_samvelyan Thank you Mikayel!!

@bryanlimwt @CULLYAntoine Congrats Bryan!

@gabe_mrgl Thanks Gabe!!

@vitalisvos19 Thanks Vitalis! Gonna miss the "cool" corner of the office!

@bryanlimwt @CULLYAntoine Congratulations Bryan!!! 🦾🤖 🎉

@eugene_teoh Thanks Eugene!

@bryanlimwt Congrats fellow Malaysian!

I am also especially thankful to @HartEmma and @AjdDavison, who examined my thesis and viva. It was a great privilege and honour to discuss important perspectives, approaches and challenges towards progress in robotics and AI systems in the real-world.
