Together with a fantastic team, led by william, we’re organising the MineRL competition at #NeurIPS2019. I’ve been hugely impressed by the participants’ ideas and submissions so far. If you want to learn more about the competition, check out this article - in nature news today!

Very exciting to see that the #MineRL project started by my PhD student william and research scientist Brandon at CMU Machine Learning Dept. at Carnegie Mellon almost 2 years ago has been featured on Nature news: nature.com/articles/d4158… minerl.io/competition/ Congrats!

Team CDS wins the MineRL Challenge 2019! Congrats to Team mc_rl & Team I4DS for their ranking AI agents. Thank you to all the participants & sponsors who brought the MineRL Challenge to life. Dive into the dataset: minerl.io #NeurIPS2019 Stephanie Milani Brandon

We're co-organizing two NeurIPS 2020 competitions using Procgen Benchmark and MineRL. We rely heavily on these environments internally for RL research, and we look forward to seeing the progress the community makes in these challenging competitions. openai.com/blog/procgen-m…

We are pleased to announce that the 2020 NeurIPS Conference MineRL Competition has officially launched! This is an exciting collaboration between Machine Learning Dept. at Carnegie Mellon, OpenAI, Preferred Networks, @AIcrowdHQ, Microsoft Research, and @DeepMind. Check it out and sign up here: minerl.io/competition

The Reinforcement Learning baselines from PFRL are now available for the 2020 #NeurIPS #MineRL competition! Can you improve them to get closer to finding a diamond in Minecraft? aicrowd.com/challenges/neu…

Four state of the art baselines developed by Preferred Networks just released for the #MineRL2020Competition! Check them out on github: github.com/minerllabs/bas…

There’s still time to participate! We are extending Round 1 of the MineRL competition to align with NeurIPS (early Dec), and Round 2 to align with AAAI-21 (Feb). Sign up now at: minerl.io/competition

Happening in 10 minutes!

The MineRL 2020 poster session is happening now at gather.town/app/ldd39UMRJU… password: diamond See you there!

Excited to see the first competitor get an iron_ingot in the 2021 MineRL Diamond Competition's introductory track! This means their agent was only 2 items away from a diamond! aicrowd.com/challenges/neu… MineRL Project

The Intro track is on fire! This morning a competitors agent created an iron_pickaxe - the final per-requisite for mining a diamond. How long before agents manage to mine diamond_ore?? Check it out aicrowd.com/challenges/neu…

We are excited to announce that the 2021 NeurIPS Conference MineRL BASALT Competition on Learning from Human Feedback has officially started! Sign up to participate here: aicrowd.com/challenges/neu… Keep reading to learn more about the competition! 1/6

Attend the workshop on August 5 if you’re interested in either of the two NeurIPS Conference competitions!

🔥New Video🔥This Team won the MineRL BASALT Challenge. Even if you don't like Minecraft, consider this: No reward function, just human raters! No task definition, just a short description. Watch to see "real" world ML in action: youtu.be/a4P8v8lGFPw

🥳🪅 The MineRL BASALT competition was accepted to the NeurIPS Conference Competition Track! 🪅🥳 But don't worry: you can still mine diamonds if you want... We'll share more details and exciting tools soon!

Learning to perform a complicated task by watching a lot of video (and using a small amount of labeled data): openai.com/blog/vpt/

🚨🚨 OpenAI just dropped agents that can reliably obtain diamonds! And guess what? You can fine tune their pretrained models for our NeurIPS Conference BASALT competition! Sign up here: aicrowd.com/challenges/neu…

We couldn't be more excited to bring the BASALT Challenge to the AIcrowd community, and now we have one more reason with OpenAI releasing pretrained models for the challenge! Check out their models from the challenge page👇 aicrowd.com/challenges/neu… The challenge goes live soon🚀

I’ve had early access to the new OpenAI Minecraft model for some time and had a blast playing around with it. The agent is way better than anything we’ve had before in RL. Here are some highlights … and some derps … and some of me trying to break it. 1/n
