Just back from @NeurIPSConf and had an awful experience with @British_Airways: 1) denied check-in since they had overbooked the flight and kept on standby, 2) stood for 2+ hours on the side at check-in, after which I was finally given a boarding pass and told to wait at the gate,.

If this is the way @British_Airways treats business class customers, I wonder what kind of treatment I should expect if I had been flying economy class as I usually do. Threatening foreigners with security when the fault is 100% on the airline is clearly wrong. Do better!.

I will be at #NeurIPS2023 in New Orleans as well, feel free to reach out to chat about Open-endedness, RL, LLMs and beyond!.
Everyone from @GoogleDeepMind's Open-Endedness Team and almost the entire @UCL_DARK Lab are going to be at @NeurIPSConf 2023 next week. You will find most of us at the @ALOEworkshop on Friday. Come and say hi!.

I had great fun using this symmetric tool from @deviparikh! These are some of my drawings; I'd highly recommend trying it out!
I built this simple drawing tool that enforces symmetry (on top of a sketching UI Larry Zitnick had built). It is surprisingly fun :) Give it a shot! And of course, share anything you make :). I'll start :).

I am excited to present my work in goal-conditioned RL at the BeTR-RL workshop @iclr_conf tomorrow! My paper is out on arXiv at #ICLR2020.

In fact, the behaviour of the @British_Airways manager was so offensive that one of the ground staff asked me to raise this concern with the airline. I had to eventually make my own plans since @British_Airways did not do anything at the airport, when it was obviously their job.

Our work "Provably Efficient Model-based Policy Adaptation" has been accepted to ICML 2020! We propose a novel model-based policy adaptation algorithm to generate trajectories in unseen target envs and theoretically prove that they converge to trajectories in the source domain.

Really happy to finally reproduce the NeurIPS 2019 paper "The Option Keyboard: Combining Skills in RL" in @PyTorch!. This was my first attempt at reproducing a NeurIPS paper from scratch and the experience was so rewarding and fruitful!.

3) @British_Airways manager told me when boarding started that I would not be flying, then threatened me with security when I simply said I had just done as I was instructed, 4) told me to contact my travel agent and make my own plans,.

5) kept me waiting without my bags at the baggage claim with no staff at the counter (they had left without resolving my issue); was luckily able to get hold of one of the staff elsewhere at the airport and retrieve my luggage.

So @FedEx denied my refund request for my international shipment costing $700+ which was returned due to blunders by their own employees! (1/n).

@qberthet @NeurIPSConf @British_Airways Ah no, this was the day before we had that same flight! Luckily the second one was smooth :).

@TweetAtAKK Could not agree more; the focus is now on doing well rather than doing better than others!.
