Thanks everyone for coming to our talk!
If you are interested in using BabyAI for your research or doing research in the directions that Maxime and myself propose, please come to our BabyAI Idea Fair, which will take place at the meeting room A.14 on Tuesday, January 15, 13:00. It will be an informal gathering for people interested in grounded language acquisition in general and using BabyAI in particular. Let's get know each other better and brainstorm about ideas!
Please join #aigame on slack for further communication about BabyAI.

*TITLE* BabyAI: A Platform to Study the Sample Efficiency of Grounded Language Learning
*ABSTRACT* This talk will present BabyAI, a research project based at Mila with the long-term goal of creating agents which we can communicate with and teach new concepts using natural language. We will begin by discussing why language learning is a hard problem, one to which deep learning doesn't yet have a satisfying answer for. We will then introduce the BabyAI platform, created to study the sample efficiency of grounded language learning in the context of embodied agents and instruction following (see paper accepted at ICLR19, https://openreview.net/forum?id=rJeXCo0cYX https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fopenreview.net%2Fforum%3Fid%3DrJeXCo0cYX&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cfff90164c81b40b986ed08d674afe588%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636824696144711094&sdata=D0QTqMzgRYHAqNP%2BNNOeZ3Z2rR6zzKZ5%2FrnaOxg3QQ4%3D&reserved=0). Lastly, we will discuss multiple promising research directions we have identified with the goal of improving the sample efficiency of grounded language learning.
*BIO* Maxime has completed a PhD in computer science at the Université de Montréal in early 2016. She has since worked at Apple as part of the mobile GPU team, and then joined Mila as part of the research engineering staff. At Mila, she has been co-directing the BabyAI project with Dzmitry Bahdanau, and took part in creating the Duckietown Simulator. Her main research interests are robotics, embodied agents and reinforcement learning.
