NeurIPS 2023 highlights breadth of Microsoft’s machine learning innovation
We’re proud to have 100+ accepted papers At NeurIPS 2023, plus 18 workshops. Several submissions were chosen as oral presentations and spotlight posters, reflecting groundbreaking concepts, methods, or applications. Here’s an overview of those submissions.
Inferring rewards through interaction
| Jessica Maghakian, Akanksha Saran, Cheng Tan, et Paul Mineiro
In reinforcement learning, handcrafting reward functions is difficult and can yield algorithms that don’t generalize well. IGL-P, an interaction-grounded learning strategy, learns personalized rewards for different people in recommender system scenarios.
