Second day of #EWRL2025 kicking off with an inspiring talk by Peter Dayan!
“How could it be that we, or an agent, could want something that it does not like, or like something that it would not be willing to exert any effort to acquire?”

I wrote a short post on our newest ICML paper addressed at people who are not experts in machine learning. Check it out!

In our latest blog post, @onnoeberhard.com writes about work presented at #ICML2025 on partially observable reinforcement learning which introduces an alternative memory framework - “memory traces”.

Onno and I will be presenting our poster at # W1005 tomorrow (Wed) morning.
He made a great thread about it, come chat with us about POMDP theory :)

Onno Eberhard @onnoeberhard.com · Jul 16

I am in Vancouver at ICML, and tomorrow I will present our newest paper "Partially Observable Reinforcement Learning with Memory Traces". We argue that eligibility traces are more effective than sliding windows as a memory mechanism for RL in POMDPs. 🧵

This morning at #RLDM I talked about Memory Traces, a simple representation for POMDPs that’s probably good at remembering old observations.

Super interesting work, take a look! 👀

I'm flying to Michigan today to present our new paper "A Pontryagin Perspective on Reinforcement Learning" at L4DC, where it has been nominated for the Best Paper Award! We ask the question: is it possible to learn an open-loop controller via RL? 🧵
