My PhD thesis--On Zero-Shot Reinforcement Learning--is now on arXiv.

BFMs are amazing.

Train them on expressive (s,a,s′) data and you'll get the optimal policy for *any* reward function in an env.

But, what if instead of states you have observations, as is almost always the case in practice?

Excited to share our new @rl-conference.bsky.social paper! 🧵

I turned 30 today. Here are some particularly important moments from the last decade.

I wrote down some of my memories and reflections after the passing of my PhD advisor, Horace Yuen: realizable.substack.com/p/horace-p-y...

time is a flat circle

A brilliant colleague and wonderful soul Felix Hill recently passed away. This was a shock and in an effort to sort some things out, I wrote them down. Maybe this will help someone else, but at the very least it helped me. Rest in peace, Felix, you will be missed. www.janexwang.com/blog/2025/1/...

#NeurIPS2024 wrapped up last week. I put together a curated reading list for #DeepRL and #reinforcementlearning work. (represents my interests).

If you think @AIatMeta ‘s Motivo looks cool in simulation, think how cool it’ll be when we make it work in the real-world! Stop by our poster today and I’ll tell you how we do it.

So excited to share our Google DeepMind team's new Nature paper on GenCast, an ML-based probabilistic weather forecasting model: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It represents a substantial step forward in how we predict weather and assess the risk of extreme events. 🌪️🧵

I’m in Whistler/Vancouver for #NeurIPS2024, and I’ll be around all week to chat RL. Swing by our poster on Friday, or hit me up on here and we can find time for a coffee!
