Last week, Alizee took the stage to present our latest work on offline preference-based RL, where we combined optimism and pessimism to learn in a fully offline setting
Happy to share that this work will also be present at #ICLR2025

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of giving an invited talk at the workshop on Reinforcement Learning in Mannheim, Germany!

I presented recent work on offline preference-based reinforcement learning, aiming to make RL more practical for real-world applications like healthcare.

I will soon be opening a call for a postdoctoral position in online learning and algorithmic game theory, starting in 2025, funded by my ERC at Bocconi University.

If you're interested, feel free to reach out. If you're not personally interested but know someone who might be, please let them know!

I'm deeply concerned about the current state of the review process. While being too busy "might" explain ignoring rebuttals, there's no justification for the arrogance and rudeness that crush the morale of early-stage PhD students. What are we aiming to achieve with this behavior?
