Onno Eberhard @onnoeberhard.com · 06/07/2026I am in Seoul at ICML to present our newest paper "Commit to the Bit: Reactive Reinforcement Learning Done Right". We show that finding reactive policies in POMDPs is easier than previously thought and that the ubiquitous 𝑞⋆-realizability assumption is stronger than necessary. 🧵 2202

Onno Eberhard @onnoeberhard.com · 09/09/2025A cute little animation: a critically damped harmonic oscillator becomes unstable with integral control if the gain is too high. Here, at K_i = 2, a Hopf bifurcation occurs: two poles of the transfer function enter the right-hand s-plane and the closed-loop system becomes unstable. 032

Onno Eberhard @onnoeberhard.com · 16/07/2025I am in Vancouver at ICML, and tomorrow I will present our newest paper "Partially Observable Reinforcement Learning with Memory Traces".
