One of the most fun projects I worked on.
It's not everyday you can train a neural net on a laptop in a hydroelectric dam to provide commands in real time to start a gigantic turbine!

It was a pleasure to meet Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social and Minister Evan Solomon today as part of an official visit at @mila-quebec.bsky.social with many collaborators from our AI ecosystem. We discussed AI risk mitigation, sovereignty & economic potential among other important topics.

This project was 4 years in the making and it's finally out!
We found that controlling vehicle speeds to mitigate traffic across a city can cut carbon emissions between 11 and 22 percent. To do this, we used deep reinforcement learning to optimize one million eco-driving scenarios. 🚗🤖🧠

The Wonderful World of Wikipedia (WWW)
If you are of a certain age, Wikipedia has been a constant in your life. It was not always so.
Here is a pre-history, a history and potential future of the world's great shared book that we all read and write. Also why is it called "Wikipedia"?

If you've ever tried to train an RL agent to respect constraints with negative rewards, you may have noticed they tend to get risk averse and conservative

Trudeau: We’re probably going to keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans, we're not booing you. We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us.
But we're Canadian. We're going to fight. And we're going to win.
