Our participation in this year's edition of the LOD conference<\/a>, as previously announced in one of our blog post<\/a>, proved to be an exceptionally enjoyable experience.<\/p>\n

The systematic evaluation of auxiliary tasks in reinforcement learning published in \u201cImproving Reinforcement Learning Efficiency with Auxiliary Tasks in Non-Visual Environments: A Comparison\u201d<\/a> by first author Moritz Lange (Dataninja-colleague from Ruhr University Bochum) generated significant interest, as did my presentation of our work \u201c\u00d6kolopoly: Case Study on Large Action Spaces in Reinforcement Learning\u201d<\/a>.
\nThe quality of our collaboration in the Dataninja (RL)3<\/sup>-project<\/a> was acknowledged: we are excited to share that the comparison of auxiliary tasks for RL won the Best Paper Award<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Lake District, the conference provided an ideal setting for the thought-provoking keynote speeches that spanned a wide range of topics, from neuroscience to large language models and their applications. The LOD conference is held in conjunction with the Advanced Course & Symposium on Artificial Intelligence & Neuroscience (ACAIN)<\/a>, a collaboration that fosters mutual respect for advancements in each respective field and promotes the exchange of valuable insights, enhancing the experience and value of both conferences.<\/p>\n

Beyond the scientific sessions, the hikes in the hills surrounding Lake Grasmere offered a fantastic opportunity for more in-depth discussions about science and life.<\/p>\n
