A nice write-up of my #NeurIPS paper by GT Communications staff:

"An unexpected discovery by Mark Riedl & his collaborators"

https://neurips.ml.gatech.edu/artificial-agents-use-reinforcement-learning-to-explain-actions-a-necessary-step-as-they-get-smarter-at-accomplishing-tasks/

TL;DR: We modified an RL system to make it more explainable. It made the base RL work better.

(Also I appreciate that they used an image that makes me look younger)

i'll be at #NeurIPS2022 tuesday through the end of the week! reach out if you want to talk language, rl, multi-agent, deepmind or just hang outdoors or watch the world cup :))

@NeuripsConf

Working with Dr Silke Göbel and myself on a project looking at the structure and development of concepts including number. Testing children aged 4-12.

https://jobs.york.ac.uk/vacancy/research-trainee-506584.html

This is part of a bigger collaboration "BounCeS", with André Knops (Université de Paris) and Martin Fischer (University of Potsdam). Investigating the structure of conceptual knowledge using a variety of methods to compare “spatial” and “non-spatial” explanations.
