Large-Scale Robot Decision Making @GoogleDeepMind European @ELLISforEurope - imitation interaction transfer - priors: @oxfordrobots @berkeley_ai @ETH @MIT
Truly enjoyed discussing the consolidation of specialist and generalist approaches to physical AI at #IROS2025.
Hoping to visit Hangzhou in physical rather than digital form myself in the not too distant future - second IROS AC dinner missed in a row.

The explosion of AI capability and complexity demands better understanding.
I firmly believe in studying large model behavior - from the perspective of artificial sequential decision making (like Inverse RL) to now linking it with human decision-making and cognitive models.

Using Cognitive Models to Reveal Value Trade-offs in Language Models - Kempner Institute
People’s actions and words are the result of a balance of different goals. The authors use a leading cognitive model of this value trade-off in polite speech to systematically examine […]

'Papa, was ist das?'
As a parent, Gemini has made my life massively easier. We found this caterpillar earlier and the answer is in fact correct (verification is much easier than generation thanks to classical Google search)
Very curious about how LLMs are continuing to change the ways we learn!

The position paper track at #NeurIPS2025 was a great idea, the acceptance rate of under 6% not so much!
This is unnecessarily low and will reduce interest in any future iterations of the track.

If you want one brain for any robot, cross-embodiment learning is the key. Check out the new model and tech report for sparks of it share.google/H5RBiwtCWnW7...
