Aug 1, 2025 | I’ll be giving a few lectures on RL at the Machine Learning Summer School. Looking forward to spending time with the students and faculty there! |
Apr 24, 2025 | Princeton RL @ ICLR 2025! Some say hi in Singapore! |
Feb 1, 2025 | I’m giving an invited talk for the “Control, Optimization, and Reinforcement Learning Session” at the Coordinated Science Laboratory Student Conference in UIUC in February 24 – 26, 2025. Email me to meet up if you’ll be there! |
Feb 1, 2025 | Check out our new preprint, Horizon Generalization in Reinforcement Learning, led by Cathy Ji and Vivek Myers! |
Jan 7, 2025 | Awarded a grant from the Princeton AI Lab to study ``Do brains perceive, act, and plan using temporal contrast?’’ together with Nathaniel Daw. |
Jan 2, 2025 | We’re launching a undergraduate research program (REU) together with state and community colleges in NJ. This is a paid program, and no research experience is required. Apply by Feb. 1. |
Jan 2, 2025 | I’m teaching Introduction to Reinforcement Learning this Spring, together with a fantastic team of TAs. I create this course to give students a strong foundation in RL and highlight that unifying themes (RL isn’t just a bag of tricks). All course notes and assignments will be posted publicly, so you can follow along! |
Jan 1, 2025 | I’m co-organizing the NSF workshop on RL, which will be held Jan 23 – 24 at Harvard University, together with Na Li, Guannan Qu and Bo Dai! Register here. |
Nov 22, 2024 | Princeton RL @ NeurIPS 2024! Some say ``hi’’ and check out the work below! |
Sep 13, 2024 | JaxGCRL: A new benchmark for goal-conditioned RL is blazing fast, allowing you to train at 1 million steps per minute on 1 GPU. Experiments run so fast that the algorithm design process becomes interactive. Tools like this not only make research much more accessible (e.g., you can now run a bunch of interesting experiments in a free Colab notebook before the 90 min timeout), but also will change how RL is taught (less fighting with dependencies, more experiments on complex tasks, less waiting for experiments to queue and finish); stay tuned for COS 435 this Spring! |
Aug 13, 2024 | Skills and directed exploration seem to emerge from contrastive RL! Check out the website for videos, code, and the full paper! Let by Grace Liu with Michael Tang. |
Aug 9, 2024 | In attempts to change perceptions about who does RL, we’ve put together a poster of Notable Women in RL! |
Jul 1, 2024 | Excited to share work that will be presented at ICML 2024! |
May 1, 2024 | Fall 2024 I’ll be teaching an independent work seminar on unsupervised RL (COS 397-S06 for juniors, COS 497-S06 for seniors). If interested, please join the waitlist. |
Apr 1, 2024 | Excited to share work that will be presented at ICLR 2024! |
Mar 11, 2024 | New paper on planning by interpolation! With Vivek Myers. |
Jan 1, 2024 | Spring 2024 I’ll be teaching the new undergraduate Introduction to RL (COS 435 / ECE 433), together with Mengdi Wang! |
