A couple days late in tweeting it, but: new blog post! This time I'm taking a holistic look at multitask RL, why it's hard, and how modular learning could improve it: rileyse.org/2022/03/21/why…

In a minor bit of personal news, I'm officially a wizard now. 🧙‍♂️

Another personal update: I've officially joined Mt. Sinai as a postdoc to work with the brilliant Kanaka Rajan on neuro-inspired and modular RL! Looking forward to doing great things together!

Expanding our research programs & our group! New website & hiring details coming soon… For now, Ryan P. Badman, Riley Simmons-Edler & I are looking forward to a new chapter in #neuroAI, unlocking the mysteries of the brain using #artificialintelligence & #neurotheory 🚀

New paper published by @ICMLconf #icml2024 Riley Simmons-Edler, Ryan P. Badman, Shayne Longpre & I argue that global embrace of military #AI systems with less human oversight makes conflict more likely, jeopardizing global stability & AI research norms: arxiv.org/abs/2405.01859

Our new preprint from Rajan lab (Harvard): "Deep RL Needs Deep Behavior Analysis: Exploring Implicit Planning by Model-Free Agents in Open-Ended Environments" Sophisticated exploration, predator evasion, and foraging strategies by standard DRL. arxiv.org/abs/2506.06981

(1/7) New preprint from the Rajan Lab! 🧠🤖 Ryan P. Badman & Riley Simmons-Edler show–through cog sci, neuro & ethology-how an AI agent with fewer ‘neurons’ than an insect can forage, find safety & dodge predators in a virtual world. Here's what we did Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2506.06981
