Two papers accepted to RLC on multi-agent reinforcement learning. Some info is below and more coming soon! #RLC #ReinforcementLearning #MARL

The countdown has begun! In just 20 days, we’ll gather for the 25th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems. 🔗 Registration System: easyconferences.org 🔗 Registration Guidelines: cyprusconferences.org/online-regis...

Check out our new ICML paper: x.com/i/status/205...

Shuo Liu on X: "LLM collaboration is being looked at by lots of people, but Decentralized LLM Collaboration is underexplored. Our ICML-26 paper proposes and analyzes 3 MARL algorithms for decentralized LLM collaboration, across writing, coding, and game-playing cooperation tasks. #ICML2026 https://t.co/xM3VndrBVE" / X

Hiring a postdoc to scale up and deploy RL-based planning onto some self-driving cars! We'll be building on arxiv.org/abs/2502.03349 and learn what the limits and challenges of RL planning are. Shoot me a message if interested and help spread the word please! Full posting to come in a bit.

Robust Autonomy Emerges from Self-Play

Self-play has powered breakthroughs in two-player and multi-player games. Here we show that self-play is a surprisingly effective strategy in another domain. We show that robust and naturalistic drivi...
