Quinn and I were featured at @AmiiThinks's podcast. We talked about our recent paper, that connects some of the work my lab has been doing with neuroscience. I had already written a blog post about it. Blog post: medium.com/@marlos.cholodovs… Pre-print: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
How does the brain map where we are and where we’re going? On Approximately Correct, Amii Fellows Quinn Lee and Marlos C. Machado discuss how machine learning is helping us understand how the brain navigates. Listen: amii.ca/updates-insights/wha…

This is another paper my lab will be presenting at ICML'26 (@icmlconf). This work was led by @prabhatmn. Prabhat came up with a simple and intuitive change (a few lines of code) that dramatically improves the performance of traditional deep RL methods. Check it out 👇
I'm excited and grateful to share our ICML spotlight paper "Accelerating Q-learning through Efficient Value-Sharing across Actions". It introduces the "mean-expansion layer", a very simple parameter-free layer that accelerates action-value learning and improves performance! (1/6)

This recent work from our group shows where models fall short across learner first language.
I'm happy to share this work on model generalizability across learner backgrounds (Farsi- and Chinese-speaking) when identifying a specific type of learner error (negative transfer) in learners' English writing. rdcu.be/ef3js #AIED #NLT #EDM

U of A’s BLINC Lab recently showcased an AI-powered prosthetic arm at Cybathlon 2024, an international competition for assistive technologies. The “Bento Arm” uses machine learning to interpret muscle signals and electrical activity, enabling intuitive control for users. As the only North American entry in its category, the team focused on transforming the science and the art of prosthetic restoration, winning eighth among over 100 global competitors. ualberta.ca/en/folio/2025/01…

Our upcoming #CSCW2024 shows how simply closing the performance AI performance gap for different user groups isn't enough. When encountering ASR errors, listeners blame AI more for native speakers but the speaker more for non-native speakers. Led by my PhD student @seoy_kim.
