Save the date! Next week Daniel J. Mankowitz and Andrea Michi, leading authors of @DeepMind's AlphaDev nature are coming to Imperial Computing to present their work🤗 As usual, the event will be hybrid. Register here: eventbrite.com/e/imperial-col… 🗓️4th July 5:00 pm #reinforcemenlearning

For the third year in a row we won a best paper award at GECCO 2025!🎉🎊🥳 Beyond this, I am very proud of the great presentations that my students did during the conf. I received a lot of compliments for the quality of their work. That’s the best reward for a supervisor!🤗

Excited and honored to announce that Felix Chalumeau, Manon Flageat, Antoine Cully and I received a best paper award at GECCO 2025! 🦎🏆🎉 I would like to thank the organizers of the conference, the reviewers and everyone that voted for our paper! dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114…


We are back! 🥳🥳 🗓️11th Oct, 5:00 pm Razvan Pascanu (Google DeepMind ) is coming to talk about State Space Models (SSM), recurrent neural networks and the role this networks could play. The event will be hybrid at Imperial Computing Registration: eventbrite.com/e/imperial-col…

Upcoming seminar!🤖29th of Jan 5:00 pm Excited to share that Leonard Bauersfeld will be flying from University of Zurich to present "Champion-Level Drone Racing using Deep Reinforcement Learning" nature front-page Hybrid event at Imperial Computing Registration: eventbrite.com/e/imperial-col…


Upcoming AI seminar!🤖13th of March 5:00 pm Marta Garnelo from Google DeepMind will present Intention, an extension of the popular Attention mechanism. Hybrid event at Imperial Computing Registration: eventbrite.com/e/imperial-col…


Upcoming AI seminar!🤖8th of April 5:00 pm Eugene Vinitsky 🍒🦋 (NYU Tandon / Apple) will talk about real-world reinforcement learning in multi-agent systems. 📍Imperial Computing, hybrid event with in-person networking Registration & details: eventbrite.com/e/imperial-col…


OMNI-EPIC!!! Done together with Maxence Faldor, Antoine Cully, and Jeff Clune 📄Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2405.15568 🌐Website: dub.sh/omniepic 🤩Huge shoutout to Rach for the website template. And really grateful for people who gave feedback along the way

I’m excited to share work that I’ll be presenting at GECCO 2025 next month, where we use Quality-Diversity Algorithms for discovering diverse crystal materials 💎✨ Done with Marta Wolinska, Shikha Surana, Thomas Pierrot , Aron Walsh and Antoine Cully

Excited to be presenting this year’s edition of Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning (EvoRL) GECCO 2025 🦎🦾 with Manon Flageat Antoine Cully, which will be a tutorial instead of a workshop! 🧵

💡⚙️ Ideas and inventions are rarely generated and created in isolation 🏝️ We explore using few/many-shot prompting of language models with quality-diverse examples provided from QD algorithms for solution generation for QD problems! Work done with Manon Flageat Antoine Cully
