Second day of #EWRL2025 kicking off with an inspiring talk by Peter Dayan!
“How could it be that we, or an agent, could want something that it does not like, or like something that it would not be willing to exert any effort to acquire?”

More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

Check out our new preprint where we analyzed the dynamics of over ten thousand neurons across 223 brain areas and found a surprising universal principle that describes the organization of intrinsic timescales across the entire mouse brain, including subcortical structures!

Excited to share our new preprint on the brain-wide organization of intrinsic timescales at single neuron resolution. Work w/ @roxana-zeraati.bsky.social, @intlbrainlab.bsky.social, Anna Levina, @engeltatiana.bsky.social : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Global sea level is measured by satellite with precision since 1993. A new study compares the data with IPCC projections from the same time. Both the overall rise and its acceleration (the rate of rise has doubled since) are very close to the data.

Förderstopp + höhere Netzentgelte? Wirtschaftsministerin Reiche gefährdet die #Photovoltaik auf Dächern. Kommunen, DUH & Verbände fordern: Smart-Meter-Rollout, stabile Regeln & #EnergySharing statt Blockade. ⚠️ #Klimaschutz braucht jede Dachfläche!
DUH fordert mit Verbänden und Kommunen: Dach-Photovoltaik sichern
• „Realitätscheck“ für die Energiewende von Wirtschafsministerin Reiche droht Photovoltaik-Anlagen auf Dächern auszubremsen• Aufdachanlagen bleiben zentraler Hebel für kommunalen Klimaschutz • Aktionsbündnis fordert Unterstützung von Bundesregierung für Privatpersonen, Kommunen und Bürgerenergie bei urbaner Energiewende durch Smart-Meter-Rollout, Energy Sharing und Mieterstrom

Es gibt weltweit rund 20.000 Klimaforscher:innen.
Und manche Leute glauben tatsächlich, die seien allesamt dumm oder korrupt, während nur einige wenige in Diensten der fossilen Energiewirtschaft die Wahrheit erzählen. 🙄

Sergey Levine was just presenting in the Exploration in AI @ #ICML2025 and promoted that exploration needs to be grounded, and that VLMs are a good source ;-) Check our paper below

How can we teach news literacy when TikTok trends shift daily and deepfakes blur reality?

That’s what we explored at the first session of our Multiplier Roundtable for News and Information Literacy in Schools this week in Tübingen. 🚸🧠

✨Introducing SENSEI✨ We bring semantically meaningful exploration to model-based RL using VLMs.

With intrinsic rewards for novel yet useful behaviors, SENSEI showcases strong exploration in MiniHack, Pokémon Red & Robodesk.

I am in Vancouver at ICML, and tomorrow I will present our newest paper "Partially Observable Reinforcement Learning with Memory Traces". We argue that eligibility traces are more effective than sliding windows as a memory mechanism for RL in POMDPs. 🧵

In our ICML paper, we study fine-tuning a generalist policy for multiple tasks. We ask, provided a pre-trained policy, how can we maximize multi-task performance with a minimal number of additional demonstrations?

📌 We are presenting a possible solution on Wed, 11am to 1.30pm at B2-B3 W-609!

The 2025 Waymo Challenge results are out! We achieved second place in the End-to-End Driving Challenge with DiffusionLTF and third place in the Scenario Generation Challenge with SHRED. Our approaches prioritized simplicity, and we're preparing to make them publicly available soon.

Unser Steuergeld für und zugleich gegen Klimaschutz ausgeben - macht das Sinn???
„Unterm Strich schmeißt die neue Regierung der fossilen Wirtschaft trotz aller Sparschwüre mehr von unseren Steuergeldern in den Rachen als je zuvor – etwa 65 Milliarden im Jahr.“

Klimapolitik der neuen Regierung: Den Ruf gleich ruiniert
Wie macht man einen guten ersten Eindruck? Das Kabinett von Bundeskanzler Merz hat das bei der Klimapolitik schon mal nicht hinbekommen.
