I’m delighted to be attending #NeurIPS2023 this week to present my new paper “Creating Multi-Level Skill Hierarchies in Reinforcement Learning”, written with Professor Özgür Şimşek at @UniofBath 📖 Paper: openreview.net/forum?id=gjBk6… 🖼️ Poster: neurips.cc/media/PosterPD…


If you're hiring devs, *please* stop wasting interview time on live coding basic algorithms. A good grasp of DS&A is crucial, but screen for it separately. Use the little time you have with the candidate face-to-face to focus on their creative, real-world problem-solving skills.

asked a candidate to implement quicksort in an interview today suffice to say, they're probably not getting a call back...

Late night jaunt to get a faint glimpse of the northern lights in Bath!

It was my pleasure to give a talk at the @scioi_cluster in Berlin last week about my recent paper “Creating Multi-Level Skill Hierarchies in Reinforcement Learning”. Thank you for hosting me - I hope everyone enjoyed the talk! It was great to meet so many brilliant researchers!

📢 Join us on Thursday (2 May, 10 am) for our next #Thursday #Morning #Talks session! 🎤Speaker: Joshua B. Evans @TheJEvns (@UniofBath) 📚Topic: Creating Multi-Level #Skill #Hierarchies in #Reinforcement #Learning 🔗For more info: shorturl.at/cjlmV



Absolutely blown away by the scale of NeurIPS…

Poster sessions @NeurIPSConf



Had a great (although slightly delayed due to flight cancellations) first day at #NeurIPS2023! Lots of fantastic talks at the industry expo - I’m looking forward for the conference to get properly underway tomorrow, and to presenting at the poster session on Thursday morning!

Had a great time at @blankbanshee’s gig in Bristol last night! Even managed to get a selfie with the man himself after the show!

I’m absolutely delighted to share that my new paper, “Creating Multi-Level Skill Hierarchies in Reinforcement Learning”, has been accepted at #NeurIPS2023! A preprint is available at: arxiv.org/abs/2306.09980 #NeurIPS #ArtificialIntelligence #ReinforcementLearning


Had an absolute blast seeing @sushitrash perform #Smithereens #Oblivion live in London on Thursday! After over a decade of memes, finally seeing #Joji in person was an absolute dream come true.


Extremely frustrated about the last-minute discussion phase deadline change at #NeurIPS2023 this year. Why set an initial deadline - and even make the point of assuring everyone it won’t be moved - if its just going to be moved anyway? People plan their lives around these dates!


A few pictures from the #BathHalf yesterday with @Jake_E_Head - great to have finally been able to run it after years of it being cancelled! strava.app.link/RcQIsjWucub

“It’s a metaphor for an entire year of Covid incompetence” Journalist Ian Hislop says it’s “a ridiculous amount of money” to spend £2.6 million on a briefing room while granting NHS workers a 1% pay rise. #bbcqt


A good friend of mine is one of the devs on this awesome upcoming VR game! If you have a VR headset, be sure to give it a look when it’s released!

We are super excited to be sharing our Alpha Gameplay Trailer for Ziggy's Cosmic Adventures! We now have a Steam Store page too! Please wishlist our game! store.steampowered.com/app/1501820/ RTs appreciated! 🚀 #screenshotsaturday #UnrealEngine #UE4 #VR #gamedev #vrgaming #indiedev



Playing WoW again has made me want to see how hard it'd be to implement a basic dungeon environment and see if I could train an RL agent to get decent DPS from scratch. Scaled up, could end up being very cool.

When the charlatan has go as low as ‘moonshot’, ‘it breaks my heart’ and ‘stitch in time saves nine’ in the @BorisJohnson guide to press conference cliches, you know he really is in trouble. Good to have Whitty contextualising the total bullshit from the compulsive liar
