Hi Bsky people 👋 I'm a PhD candidate in Machine Learning at Carnegie Mellon University.
My research focuses on interactive AI, involving:
🤖 reinforcement learning,
🧠 foundation models, and
👩‍💻 human-centered AI.

Also a founding co-organizer of the MineRL competitions 🖤 Follow me for ML updates!
Thanks for sharing, Marc!! 😊

Excited to share that the PokeAgent challenge was accepted as a NeurIPS competition!

This should serve as an excellent benchmark for competitive games AND ‘speedrunning’ the RPG. I hope to see both the RL and LLM agent communities working together here to eval agents in Pokemon

More info soon👀

What do you mean? This is excellent

Happy to announce our paper is accepted to #ICLR 🥳

Great working with Zhuorui Ye (a fantastic undergrad applying for PhD!), Geoff Gordon, & Fei Fang on this project.

💫 Stay tuned for an interpretable human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning agent that dramatically reduces human annotation burden!

🇨🇦 Attending my last NeurIPS as a PhD student! Presenting our recent work, Patient-Ψ, at a few workshops --- come by! Schedule in 🧵

I'm on the job market, looking for TT faculty roles & post-docs.

DM if you'd like to chat (or invite me to a party 🥳)!

RL list is getting kinda full but I'm mostly here for new papers so... go.bsky.app/2Gibu1a

Chime in! No rules but the title

Oh no... I fear this might be me

Not sure of the exact problems you looked at, but we've also found that using VLMs to do simple image annotations (e.g., location of an agent in a grid) can be very error-prone 😅

I had a great time speaking with @khulick.bsky.social about AI safety & our work on training better-behaved agents via the BASALT competition series!

Excited about the potential for using Minecraft as a sandbox to develop safer AI systems. 🎮
