This week, 's #ChatGPT had its debut on the floor of the European parliament. used it to write a speech on the regulation of political advertisement. I wonder how ChatGPT would do in political negotiating. 😉

Ich habe diese Woche im Europäischen Parlament eine von #ChatGPT geschriebene Rede gehalten. Und keiner hat‘s gemerkt!
Da könnte man jetzt sagen: Cool, die erste von #KI-geschriebene Rede im #EU-Parlament, ein quasi historischer Moment. Mir geht‘s aber um etwas Anderes.

My train should win an award for friendliest staff with the most dry humour. 😂 Approaching one of them about forgetting to tap my card, I was informed that food in the Go train jail is much better than it used to be! 🍷🍱🧑🍳 I’m SO relieved.

Besides developing new technology, I have always also been passionate about its societal impact and broader public policy. Thus, I am excited to have joined as a faculty affiliate and very much look forward to interdisciplinary exchange opportunities beyond CS.

Need a new, easy-to-use RL algorithm?
(Which is essentially DQN but for continuous control Tasks!)
DecQN was accepted at #ICLR2023
Quote Tweet
In our recent paper, we show that a minor variation of DQN actually solves many continuous control problems from state or pixels on par with state-of-the-art actor critic methods such as (D4PG, DMPO, SAC, DrQv2, DreamerV2, ...).

Thanks, and team for inviting me to give a talk at the Robotics Seminar this morning. It was a lot of fun to meet all of you! Unfortunately, I was remote: the weather in Toronto ❄️☃️ is very different from the weather in Haifa☀️🌴 this time of year.
