🧠 The aim of this bridge is to share resources and foster learning across communities.
📚 It’s a non-archival venue — we welcome already published work, under-polished ideas, and papers currently under review.

#CallForPapers #CFP

🚀 Calling all researchers in planning and reasoning with foundation models!

If you're working on foundational models for planning and reasoning in natural language, we invite you to submit your work to PLAN-FM @aaai.org 2026

I’m an award-winning mathematician. Trump just cut my funding. The “Mozart of Math” tried to stay out of politics. Then it came for his research.

I wrote an op-ed on the world-class STEM research ecosystem in the United States, and how this ecosystem is now under attack on multiple fronts by the current administration: newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...

Agree. Wondering if WFH parents have some hacks for context switching! Or do their neurons just adapt?

Super insightful. Thank you!

You know how RL is that whole big thing nowadays?

Present your work at the first-ever New York Reinforcement Learning Workshop (NYRL), co-organized by Amazon, Columbia Business School & NYU Tandon School of Engineering.

Wonder if the estimation gap is this large for people who think AI does not help them in their work.

Take away #2 is 🤯

U.S. says it is now monitoring immigrants' social media for antisemitism Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

Happy Chetichand, Hindu new year, Chaitra Navratri and all the festivals named in this image below.

Do you think it would help if the research community defined a new/different term for the intermediate steps; and not call it “reasoning” ? Curious.

#AI #MachineLearning #LLMs

🔍 Our AAAI paper, ACPBench, introduces a benchmark designed to rigorously evaluate LLMs on core reasoning skills required for planning.
✅ 7 tasks
✅ 13 domains: includes IPC domains as well as one novel domain

#Planning #Reasoning

🚀 ACPBench: A New Benchmark for Evaluating LLMs in Planning 🚀

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly being used as agents for workflow orchestration and decision-making in planning-heavy domains. But how well do they actually reason about action, change, and planning?

Congratulations. ☺️ Wish you a very health and rested pregnancy. You are such an inspiration; you are gonna be a great mom. ❤️

Not sure if it is attained or maintained on purpose. But I feel same thing for uninformed support too; its worse than regular support.

RLHF just took us by surprise!!
