Balanced synthetic datasets can help to train fair classifiers: introducing our work “Quality-Diversity Generative Sampling”, accepted to #AAAI24 (main)! arxiv.org/abs/2312.14369 w/ Matt Fontaine, Serena Booth, Maja Mataric, and Stefanos Nikolaidis

I am thrilled to share that our paper PPGA was accepted as a spotlight (🔦) paper at ICLR'24! Here's how you can get a robot to learn diverse locomotion gaits with Quality Diversity Reinforcement Learning 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2305.13795 See you all in Vienna #ICLR2024 🙂

Yesterday, USC launched the School of Advanced Computing. See this Q &A w/ its new director, @GauravSukhatme to learn about the possibilities for research & collaboration USC Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science USC ECE #computing #AI #DataScience today.usc.edu/qa-usc-school-…

If you are at @AAAI Conference, check out Allen Chang's poster on "Quality-Diversity Generative Sampling for Learning with Synthetic Data," in collaboration with Serena Booth, Matt Fontaine, Maja Matarić. Also a wonderful article about this work: viterbischool.usc.edu/news/2024/02/d…

Very cook to see work on QD + scenario generation extend to LLMs!

🤔Interested in exploring how AI’s decisions affect human team dynamics? 🔬Excited to announce the release of the Co-Tetris game as an open-source research platform! 🕹️Thank you to Seyun Kim , Winice Hui, Obi Abbi, Malte Jung, Connor Brown, Jignesh Modi, Stefanos Nikolaidis

Cool to see niche work (in evo comp) that would fit in with GECCO 2025 ALIFE Conference 2024 (especially QD) becoming a regular sight in mainstream ML confs (since Differentiable QD (Matt Fontaine & Stefanos Nikolaidis) @ NeurIPS 2021?) Any other QD/OE works @ ICLR? Trend: x.com/_samvelyan/sta…

Grateful to have been selected as one of the 438 Goldwater Scholars for 2024 (one of 30 nationally in CS). goldwaterscholarship.gov A big thank you to my advisors and mentors: Lee Spector, Scott Niekum and Stefanos Nikolaidis, as well as my many collaborators, for their support.

Submit your work to our full-day workshop at #RSS2024 on Safety & Normative behavior in Human-Robot Interaction by June 7, 2024 (AoE)! We have an amazing lineup of keynote speakers & panelists! See our website for more info: sites.google.com/view/safe-hri/… and check out Robotics: Science and Systems

That's right.

The R:SS Workshop on Safety and Normative Behaviors has kicked off in room ME C - Bernoulli Robotics: Science and Systems 🙌 We start with an exciting keynote by Stefanos Nikolaidis on Algorithmic Scenario Generation for Robust Human-Robot Interaction!

RSS 2025 will be at USC!! We have the finest faculty on the organising committee. Somil Bansal Erdem Bıyık Stefanos Nikolaidis Daniel Seita 🇺🇦 Gaurav Sukhatme #FightOn USC Viterbi School
