Forget modeling every belief and goal! What if we represented people as following simple scripts instead (i.e "cross the crosswalk")?
Our new paper shows AI which models others’ minds as Python code 💻 can quickly and accurately predict human behavior!

Still catching up on my notes after my first #cogsci2025, but I'm so grateful for all the conversations and new friends and connections! I presented my poster "When Empowerment Disempowers" -- if we didn't get the chance to chat or you would like to chat more, please reach out!

Our new paper is out in PNAS: "Evolving general cooperation with a Bayesian theory of mind"!
Humans are the ultimate cooperators. We coordinate on a scale and scope no other species (nor AI) can match. What makes this possible? 🧵

Really pumped for my Oral presentation on this work today!!! Come check out the RL session from 3:30-4:30pm in West Ballroom B
You can also swing by our poster from 4:30-7pm in West Exhibition Hall B2-B3 # W-713
See you all there!

Our new paper (first one of my PhD!) on cooperative AI reveals a surprising insight: Environment Diversity > Partner Diversity.
Agents trained in self-play across many environments learn cooperative norms that transfer to humans on novel tasks.

I'll be at ICML next week! If anyone wants to chat about single/multi-agent RL, continual learning, cognitive science, or something else, shoot me a message!!!

Really excited to present my work this Sunday @NeurIPS on how we might approach training a generalist agent capable of cooperation at scale: coordinating with many novel partners on many novel tasks has never been easier!
Come by the IMOL workshop to check it out and chat more!
