Excited about this new work from @haoyuhe.bsky.social. TLDR: Diffusion language models treat learning and inference differently which lowers performance. RL can be used to overcome this issue for certain problems.

One concern that I have as an AI researcher when publishing code is that it can potentially be used in dual-use applications.
To solve this, we propose Civil Software Licenses. They prevent dual-use while being minimal in the restrictions they impose:

Today, we moved into our new building on the CyberValley campus. Everyone is super excited. PhD students went right back to work. But wait, is there something missing? ;)

A big milestone for us. Huge congrats to Bernhard, Daniel and team! The first comprehensive codebase for training RL self-driving agents with state-of-the-art performance on both CARLA 2.0 and nuPlan.

Bernhard Jaeger @bernhard-jaeger.bsky.social · Jul 15

We have released the code for our work, CaRL: Learning Scalable Planning Policies with Simple Rewards.

The repository contains the first public code base for training RL agents with the CARLA leaderboard 2.0 and nuPlan.

We tried to contact the ACL PCs a few times, but unfortunately we were not very successful so far. It's my first ACL I will attend in person, so I was hoping I would be able to profit from our planner - let's see :)

Thanks for being our #1 ambassador, Claire! Enjoy ICML!

At #ICML, you can just use scholar inbox to help you find your way through the poster sessions. It just sorts the papers according to your preferences and it really works.

Christina's new work PrITTI generates high-quality, controllable 3D semantic urban scenes in a compact primitive-based representation using a latent diffusion model. This enables applications like scene editing, inpainting, and photo-realistic street view synthesis!
