I had a lovely time in Seoul presenting Trust Region Inverse RL (arxiv.org/pdf/2605.11020) at @icmlconf.bsky.social! Also got a chance to visit and give a talk at the Robot Learning Lab at SNU (rllab.snu.ac.kr). They’re doing amazing work on RL for robotics 🦾

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

It’s hilarious how I’m continually an idiot in hindsight

📢 New blog post! 📢 I think partial observability in decision making is a fascinating topic. It leads to a ton of roadblocks that “traditional” planning/learning agents are just not equipped to handle. #MLSky anishhdiwan.github.io/notes/pomcp....

Monte Carlo Planning in Large Partially Observable MDPs

Decision-making (either human or artificial) typically involves taking actions given observations. For instance, (i) chess players make their move on observing the state of the board or (ii) driving a...

Random alley in Venice (from last summer) 🎞️ Portra 160 #filmphotography

One point perspective image of an alleyway in the shade. The walls of the street have windows and piping. The image focuses on a building at the end of the alley with a man in the frame.

I have a new blog on machine learning and robotics! It’s an academia focused archive of my lecture notes, paper summaries, and misc. write ups. I’ve recently written posts on imitation learning and the policy gradient theorem (RL). #MLSky #Robotics anishhdiwan.github.io/notes/

Hey, the internet! I’ll try to keep the memes to a minimum :3 No promises though
