Congrats to group member Fred!

📑Our recent group meeting discussed a paper out of Stanford AI Lab, offering a captivating alternative to RL with human feedback. Then Tom Savage shared insights on plotting best practices! 🎨

🎉 Our group member Miguel just had their work “The Automated Discovery of Kinetic Rate Models – Methodological Frameworks” published in RCS Digital Discovery. Take a look here: tinyurl.com/ypkt6n5k Imperial ChemEng

Excited to announce Niki Kotecha will be presenting her work on Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning tomorrow at 10:30 am at the 33rd European Conference on Operational Research!

Thank you to CEB Cambridge for organising the 7th Machine Learning and AI in Bio(Chemical) Engineering conference. Group member Max Bloor presented his work on Control-Informed Reinforcement learning and the Python package pc-gym!

🇨🇦 Niki Kotecha is in Canada for IFAC_Control's #ADCHEM2024. Tomorrow, she presents 'Leveraging Reinforcement Learning and Evolutionary Strategies for Dynamic Multi Objective Decision Making in Supply Chain Management'.

New paper alert 🚨We create a method that allows for humans to easily and effectively interact with Bayesian optimization algorithms, enabling faster optimization and discovery, and in the worst case recovering standard convergence. Thanks to Antonio del Rio Chanona! doi.org/10.1016/j.comp…

Our August issue is live! ML-assisted flow reactor design, a DNA-based chemical neuron that 'senses' temperature, large-scale graphene-based current collectors, direct imaging of nanocube self-assembly pathways, and more! Read the full issue here: nature.com/natchemeng/vol…

Congrats to group member Buse for winning the best paper award at #ACL2024 in the Scholarly Document Comprehension Workshop! 📊📄
