My PhD thesis is finished! It's all about making reinforcement learning agents more adaptive to changes in their environment. Here's the audio summary by NotebookLM. See the full pdf on my website (link below)

If leading AI companies are indeed approaching the point of recursive self-improvement, a coordinated, verifiable, and universally applied pause is probably the only responsible solution to mitigate several major AI risks; at least until safety guarantees are developed and demonstrated. Ensuring that such a moratorium is respected would require sincere collaboration between various countries and companies, but I definitely believe it is achievable if others follow in @AnthropicAI's footsteps.
Anthropic is calling for top AI labs to weigh slowing the pace of development, suggesting that AI systems are advancing so rapidly that they may soon be able to improve themselves without human intervention in ways that could pose societal risks. on.wsj.com/4ulkmFh

We organized an RL competition during the first Openmind Research Institute Winter School in Malaysia. The participants were able to implement SARSA and SAC in just 2 days onboard our Embodied MuJoCo Ant! πŸŽ‰

When multiple people mention a paper to you, you know you should probably read it

I should probably read the UniVLG paper, heard it multiple times here at AAAI

Staying calm while AGI sparks are flying around. "This is what it feels like to do AI research nowadays" --Yolanda Gil, in her invited talk at AAAI (she showed this picture of Nikola Tesla reading a book in his lab)

The most important session of #AAAI is overflowing

I'm at #AAAI in Singapore to present our SPARC paper. Hope to see you today! 12pm: poster 1356 in Hall 4 3pm: oral in the RL 3 session, room Garnet 219
The SPARC paper is online! (link below) During my internship at Sony AI, we created a policy that can generalize across all cars in Gran Turismo 7. Even to unseen cars, without knowing any vehicle details! Co-authors: Patrick MacAlpine, @kausubbu, @PeterStone_TX, Peter Wurman

Awesome 4-day RL winter school coming up right after AAAI, close to Singapore. You can still try to apply, you never know!
10 Dec 2025
The 1st Openmind Winter School is now open for registration! πŸŽ“ Join world-class researchers, including Prof. Richard Sutton, for an immersive program featuring lectures, mentorship, and hands-on exploration of RL theory, algorithms, and applications. πŸ’‘πŸ§  #UTAR #Openmind

FWIW, my New Year's resolution a few years ago was to use metric when discussing distances, temperatures, etc., and I'm still sticking to it. If you're looking for a good New Year's resolution this year, I figure we just need ~340 million more to join and we're there!

The Gran Turismo research that I've worked on at @SonyAI_global just got accepted at #AAAI as an oral! We'll publish it on arXiv soon. Looking forward to see you in Singapore!

And on Wind-MuJoCo environments, SPARC also shows the best robustness to unseen wind speeds.
