Come see our poster tomorrow morning (#4307 in Hall A)! Paper, code, and more can be found at onnoeberhard.com/q-commit. Joint work with @claireve.bsky.social and Michael Muhelebach.

I 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. 🧵

Very excited to share our latest paper led by @nbinish.bsky.social in @natneuro.nature.com We demonstrate how a communication subspace channels higher-dimensional PFC dynamics into lower-D motor activity to enable efficient behavior using human iEEG. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroskyence

A 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.

I am in Vancouver at ICML, and tomorrow I will present our newest paper "Partially Observable Reinforcement Learning with Memory Traces". We argue that eligibility traces are more effective than sliding windows as a memory mechanism for RL in POMDPs. 🧵

This morning at #RLDM I talked about Memory Traces, a simple representation for POMDPs that’s probably good at remembering old observations. arxiv.org/abs/2503.15200

I'm flying to Michigan today to present our new paper "A Pontryagin Perspective on Reinforcement Learning" at L4DC, where it has been nominated for the Best Paper Award! We ask the question: is it possible to learn an open-loop controller via RL? 🧵
