Belated advertising for our NeurIPS 2022 paper. ReLU-based policies partition the input space into piecewise linear regions. How many regions are there? (Ans: related to # neurons; only weakly related to depth). Does the region density increase in areas that the policy learns to visit? (yes, moderately). See here for other lessons learned: https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~van/papers/2022-NeurIPS-understanding/index.html

Hello all! I'm interested in physics-based models of human movement, deep reinforcement learning, animation, and robotics. I'm a professor in the Dept of Computer Science at UBC, in Vancouver, Canada. List of recent projects can be found here:
https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~van/papers/index.html
I'm keen to stay connected to the research communities related to all the above areas!

Exciting to see the growing critical mass of familiar faces here on Mastodon. And I could even refer you back to my twitter home if I wanted 😃 (although I won't do that). #firstpost
