Looking for a principled evaluation method for ranking of *general* agents or models, i.e. that get evaluated across a myriad of different tasks?

I’m delighted to tell you about our new paper, Soft Condorcet Optimization (SCO) for Ranking of General Agents, to be presented at AAMAS 2025! 🧡 1/N

The latest BBC Science Focus magazine highlights the biggest science and math breakthroughs of the past 25 years. Sir David Spiegelhalter named the solution to the einstein problem β€” solved with help from our own Craig Kaplan β€” as one of the top breakthroughs.

Congrats, Craig and colleagues!
