Great question! To be honest, no idea. Part of the research design is to identify the objectives we want to hit and these aren’t fully fleshed out just yet.

Multi-agent in terms of mixed autonomy type of environments (or training a LLM to gather information from other agents, human or artificial) is somewhat along the path of our future strategic directions for the US-SV office.

Large behavioral sims or specific applied focus areas are likely not.

We're hiring at all levels for engineering and research roles with focus areas in CV, LLMs, and RL (broadly defined). We are firmly committed to open science and have extensive computational resources. Check us out, see you in Singapore! ifm.mbzuai.ac.ae

Thank you for the kind consideration. I am however no longer in Canada (left during the COVID pandemic to follow my advisor to MIT, and now find myself in the SF Bay Area and missing Massachusetts and Ontario a whole lot...)

I love this idea. Really and truly. Let's do this @icmlconf.bsky.social! (Maybe also something @rl-conference.bsky.social could look into?)

Wow! Congratulations to both BU and you!

Was about to ask if this was how you were doing your ICML reviewing ;)

I’ve got a lot of thoughts about the current market as an ML researcher, not sure I’ll share them in total.

But… it was more difficult than anticipated and I felt hopeless a lot of the time. If you’re feeling similarly; know you’re not worthless, it just may take more time. 🤗

Let me know if you want to learn more about IFM, why I chose this opportunity, or chat about open access research.

I’m so glad that you found this paper. Lots of really fun implications and avenues to explore, both in applied and foundational directions.

Oh man, i wish that I had a concrete answer here. I do recall discussions about evaluations over all aspects of nuPlan but don’t remember what results we had.

Stay tuned. We’ve got more details + videos to share in the coming days
