Stabilizing Humanoid Robot Trajectory Generation via Physics-Informed Learning and Control-Informed Steering Recent trends in humanoid robot control have successfully employed imitation learning to enable the learned generation of smooth, human-like trajectories from human data. While these approaches make m...

This work was led by PhD Student Evelyn D'Elia with collaborators from the Artificial and Mechanical Intelligence Lab at @iitalk.bsky.social and the University of Manchester, jointly with the Vandal Lab at Politecnico di Torino. Many thanks to all co-authors!

No.

The JMLR story and operating model should be widely known in academia as a clear success story for full open access. I have friends in the humanities and pure sciences that have no clue this is even possible

ILIR Workshop, Dec 2, 2025 This workshop covers current research topics in reinforcement learning and causality, and in particular questions at the interface of these research areas. Of particular interest this year are also qu...

Nicolo Cesa-Bianchi and Matteo Papini are putting together a great unconference workshop at the @ellis.eu day at @euripsconf.bsky.social

1. David Ackerly (UC Berkeley) While his most-cited work is on leaf size and SLA, he also wrote explicitly about plasticity in leaf traits, including shape, in the context of ecological strategies. Example: Ackerly (1997), “Allocation, leaf display, and growth in fluctuating light environments: A comparative study of deciduous and evergreen species” (Oecologia). This emphasizes how plasticity in leaf traits mediates adaptation to light.

Just in case there was any doubt, ChatGPT 5.0 still makes up completely random citations that don't exist and should not be used for literature search.

We are working on adding some interactive components like search and (beta) integration with LLMs.

Hope this is useful and feel free to submit Github issues to help us improve the text!

Students using AI to write their reports is like me going to the gym and getting a robot to lift my weights

Shallow joke

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

I can't wait for AI to take one of my seven jobs.

Dino Buzzati’s 1960 _Il Grande Ritratto_ (recently translated as _The Singularity_) mentions in passing the ideas of Silvio Ceccato, Italian cyberneticist who built the first Italian AI system, Adamo II, in 1956. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvio_...

Great point

Editorial: Censoring the scientific enterprise, one grant at a time Recent grant terminations are a symptom of a widespread attack on science.

More on the NSF censorship of misinformation research, broader cuts (esp social science & education), & now overhead reductions. This is a full attack on science. In addition to #saveNSF, we need to actively inform the public about the value of taxpayer investments in STEM across all fed agencies 🧵
