RL & Agents Reading Group
@rl-agents-rg.bsky.social
RL & Agents Reading Group @ University of Edinburgh We regularly discuss recent papers in RL, MARL & related https://edinburgh-rl.github.io/reading-group
We are back with the RL & Agents Reading Group tomorrow (Thursday) 3pm, kicking off a three-talk RLC series! Leo Hinckeldey is presenting Assistax, a benchmark for multi-agent assistive robotics. Interested in MARL, ad hoc teamwork, embodied RL? Join us! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2507.21638
As we build more cooperative multi-agent envs, we should ask: are we really testing the properties that make Dec-POMDPs hard, partial observability and decentralised coordination, or can agents succeed via shortcuts? 🤔 Our #AAMAS2026 Oral probes this question 🔎🧵
RL & Agents Reading Group Tomorrow 3pm GMT (UK) time 📖 Raul Steleac will be joining us to present his ICLR paper on a new approach to discovering coordinated behaviours in multi-agent systems 🤖 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2512.24827
🚨🚨🚨 Later today I am going to present at @rl-agents-rg.bsky.social’s reading group one research line with @mircomutti.bsky.social that I’m really excited about: behavior compression via unsupervised RL!
Reading group TODAY 3pm GMT (UK) time 📖 Lukas Schäfer (Microsoft Research) will be joining us to present predictive inverse dynamics models (PIDMs) as an alternative to behaviour cloning in offline imitation learning 💡 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2601.21718 Join here: edinburgh-rl.github.io/reading-group
Reading group TODAY at 3pm UK time (GMT)! Ruaridh Mon-Williams will be joining us to present some interesting recent work on emergent partner modelling 💡 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2505.17323 Join here: edinburgh-rl.github.io/reading-group
Reading group TOMORROW 3-4pm UK! Joe Marino (Google DeepMind) will present SIMA 2, a generalist embodied agent designed to operate across a wide range of 3D virtual worlds 🌎 Join here: edinburgh-rl.github.io/reading-group
Reading group TODAY 2pm BST! "Despite years of research in offline reinforcement learning, the field has failed to deliver major breakthroughs..." Matthew Jackson and Jarek Liesen (Oxford) will present Unifloral - unified implementations and evaluations for offline RL: arxiv.org/abs/2504.11453
Reading group today at 12:00 BST! We are continuing our NeurIPS series. Felix Chalumeau from InstaDeep will present his oral paper on how inference strategies can boost performance in MARL. 🚀 Papers: arxiv.org/abs/2505.21236 Meeting: bit.ly/488sD6n
Reading group today at 2pm BST! We are starting our NeurIPS series with Sable and Oryx, sequence models for scalable multi-agent coordination from the RL Research Team at InstaDeep. 🚀 Papers: - Sable: bit.ly/3Lme7jH - Oryx: bit.ly/47GJb4T Meeting: - bit.ly/3JoEbtU

We regularly host guest speakers, so please get in touch if you're interested in presenting your work 🤟❤️🔥
Hello world! This is the RL & Agents Reading Group We organise regular meetings to discuss recent papers in Reinforcement Learning (RL), Multi-Agent RL and related areas (open-ended learning, LLM agents, robotics, etc). Meetings take place online and are open to everyone 😊
