I remember being excited about AI. I remember 20 years ago, being excited about neuroevolutionary methods for learning adaptive behaviors in...

This second post details how I tuned the Soft-Actor Critic (SAC) algorithm to learn as fast as PPO in the context of a massively parallel simulator (thousands of robots simulated in parallel).

Scope AutoML has become a cornerstone in the toolkit of many developers and researchers. With the rise of foundation models, AutoML's potential has expanded even further, enabling smarter, more powerf...

I used AI in my plasma physics research and it didn’t go the way I expected.
