Gods and Robots In this episode of the podcast we shake things up! Neil is on the guest side of the table with his partner Rabbi Laura Janner-Klausner to discuss their upcoming project Gods and Robots. Katherine is joined on the host side by friend of the show professor Michael Littman. See...

Structural equation models (SEMs) account for the process of measurement by explicitly distinguishing between latent variables and their measurement indicators... A Whac-A-Mole Dilemma: Shortcuts Come in Multiples Where Mitigating One Amplifies Others Machine learning models have been found to learn shortcuts -- unintended decision rules that are unable to generalize -- undermining models' reliability. Previous works address this problem under the tenuous assumption that only a single shortcut exists in the training data. Real-world images are... Language-Driven Representation Learning for Robotics Recent work in visual representation learning for robotics demonstrates the viability of learning from large video datasets of humans performing everyday tasks. Leveraging methods such as masked autoencoding and contrastive learning, these representations exhibit strong transfer to policy learning...
