Is there a way to shift my doomscrolling from Instagram to Bluesky? I know I'd end up more informed and positive from 10 minutes on here than on insta. Maybe some good suggestions of random fun accounts to follow?

Wallace and Grommit serving up some great PSA's on AI and automation. Doesn't just seem to play out the AI bad trope and shows to a general audience how it can go wrong quickly.

Sits down to write paper... 6 months later. This paper hasn't written itself yet no matter how many times I ask nicely... What are your tips for breaking through writing block and pushing out your paper? Could really do with some advice from the academic community! 🧪🌊

Our oceans aren't quiet and they're getting louder. A great paper on how important sound is in the ocean and how humans are impacting it. This is not only important for the biosphere but louder oceans make bad actors harder to detect. 🧪 🌊 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The soundscape of the Anthropocene ocean

Sound travels faster and farther in water than in air. Over evolutionary time, many marine organisms have come to rely on sound production, transmission, and reception for key aspects of their lives. ...

For those doing lit reviews, be aware that Scopus can now search for pre prints as well! Great for getting visibility of what's on the horizon in your field. 🧪

Yesterday's wintery work views. Having a large window right next to the desk has helped massively with fighting back the SAD this year. Take this post as your reminder to get some sunshine and fresh air today.

Another must read for reinforcement learning. Answers many key questions for researchers; -Do I need multiple training runs? -How do I report model confidence? -And a great section on common mistakes to fend off reviewer 2 🧪 #DRL #reinforcementlearning #AI arxiv.org/abs/2304.01315

Empirical Design in Reinforcement Learning

Empirical design in reinforcement learning is no small task. Running good experiments requires attention to detail and at times significant computational resources. While compute resources available p...

One of my favourite DRL papers. OpenAI five, it highlights just how much compute and time is needed for training complex capable agents. Remember this is learning in a human coded environment . Training agents for real world scenarios is even more challenging. 🧪 #RL #AI arxiv.org/abs/1912.06680

Dota 2 with Large Scale Deep Reinforcement Learning

On April 13th, 2019, OpenAI Five became the first AI system to defeat the world champions at an esports game. The game of Dota 2 presents novel challenges for AI systems such as long time horizons, im...
