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).

For those who couldn't make it to CoRL 2022 (myself included), all the papers are available here: https://openreview.net/group?id=robot-learning.org/CoRL/2022/Conference

Just a quick reminder of the many interesting talks / interviews on the "Talk RL" podcast: https://www.talkrl.com/

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
