19/06/2025 We've released a comprehensive overview of hierarchical reinforcement learning. This paper meticulously covers hundreds of research articles and distills insights from leading experts in the field, representing a year of dedicated effort.

10/02/2025 MaestroMotif has been given an oral presentation at ICLR 2025! Take a look at our vision for the future of human-AI collaboration.

25/01/2025 Two papers accepted at ICLR 2025! (1) MaestroMotif: a scalable algorithm for building hierarchical agents. (2) We study the capabilities of LLMs to model policies, rewards and transition functions.

19/08/2024 Motif was featured in a recent article about AI agents and open-endedness by Air Street Press.

04/03/2023 Co-organizing a workshop on "Training Agents with Foundation Models" at RLC in August. We have some exciting things coming, stay tuned!

25/10/2023 The work resulting from my Meta internship, Motif, has been accepted at ICLR 2024! 🎶

25/10/2023 We have released the code for Motif, a general method to distill prior knowledge from LLMs into actionable RL agents. We have also published a short blogpost that describes Motif.

05/06/2023 Started a research intern at Meta Montreal with Shagun Sodhani, Mikael Henaff and Amy Zhang!

25/04/2023 Our work with Marlos, Deep Laplacian-based Options, has been accepted to ICML 2023! 🏝

31/01/2023 The project we worked on with Marlos C. Machado during my DeepMind intern has been released on arXiv! We scale up a promising approach for option discovery that yields strong exploration performance.

08/10/2022 Selected as a Top Reviewer at NeurIPS 2022! We all have a part to play in making our research community better, as much as time allows us.

14/09/2022 Our work on leveraging meta learning for emphatic algorithms was accepted at NeurIPS 2022!

11/07/2022 Started a research internship at DeepMind Alberta with Marlos C. Machado!

16/04/2022 Selected as a Highlighted Reviewer for ICLR 2022! Hopefully those reviews helped the authors.

15/10/2021 Selected as an Outstanding Reviewer (top 8%) for NeurIPS 2021! Amazing to be recognized for the time and thought put into the reviewing service.

28/09/2021 "Flexible Option Learning" has been accepted as a Spotlight to NeurIPS 2021! The paper and code will be out soon.
