Great to see @Stanford@twitter.com's Robotics research continuing to grow stronger!
Excited times for me to start working towards my PhD there...
RT @chelseabfinn@twitter.com I’m excited to share that I will be joining the faculty of @Stanford@twitter.com in Computer Science, starting in 2019!

Very interesting to get a more in depth explanation of #RSS2018 best paper award work from Prof. Marc Toussaint at the Causality and Imitation workshop organized by labmates @animesh_garg@twitter.com & @yukez@twitter.com along with others. Big fan of seeing progress in TAMP!
RT @gradientpub@twitter.com: Libratus "was the first AI agent to beat professional players in heads-up no-limit Texas hold ’em." The secret to its success? Game theory, not deep learning. https://thegradient.pub/libratus-poker/

RT @skynet_today@twitter.com: Impressive though it may seem, self driving car technology is still far from ready to take over all our driving.
Why?

Enjoying great talks at #RSS2018 workshop "Computational Models of Affordance for Robotics"
Big fan of "Robotic Pick-and-Place of Novel Objects in Clutter with Multi-Affordance Grasping..." by @andyzengtweets@twitter.com et al. being presented by Prof. Alberto Rodriguez.
RT @doomie@twitter.com: Our work on evaluating interpretability methods is out! Check it out at http://arxiv.org/abs/1806.10758 (big props to @sarahookr@twitter.com for pushing this work through). https://twitter.com/arimorcos/status/1012726386396663810
RT @veneficaultrix@twitter.com: A frightening amount of STEM students seem to believe that science is an infallible pillar of truth rather than a very changeable human concept open to misuse by biased researchers

RT @JSheltzer@twitter.com: Great new study about science outreach via Twitter: Initially, scientists mostly tweet to each other. But after accumulating about 1000 followers, scientists reach an increasing number of journalists, policy makers, and other members of the public.

RT @RichardSocher@twitter.com: Tweeting, therefore, has the potential to disseminate scientific information widely.
[...] encourage scientists to invest in building a social media presence.
👍
Beyond a threshold of ∼1000 followers, the range of follower types became more diverse.

Insightful and intuitive work!
RT @cvondrick@twitter.com Our latest work shows that learning to colorize videos causes visual tracking to emerge automatically!

"This year, we’re recognizing ten outstanding individuals for their contributions to American culture, cuisine, sports, politics, and the immigrant experience that defines Immigrant Heritage Month."
RT @dennybritz@twitter.com: When models learn to “collaborate and communicate” it looks impressive. However, that’s only because these things are difficult for us because of human nature. They aren’t actually difficult to optimize for algorithms.

RT @markus_with_k@twitter.com: Combining reinforcement learning with imitation learning, not a completely new story at #RSS2018 but some very promising results on impressive tasks.
Exploration remains one of the principal challenges for learning how to solve tasks from experience.
