We're at ICML this week presenting work on world models, dynamical systems modeling, and more. If you're here and would like to discuss over a drink, come to our social on Thursday evening! Link below.

New paper from Basis' Project MARA team and collabs. The ability to learn and use world models is a key aspect of human intelligence, but evaluating this ability remains elusive. In this work we propose WorldTest, a representation-agnostic, behavior-based agent eval framework.

We’re proud to announce the launch of AutumnBench, an open-source benchmark developed on our Autumn platform. This benchmark, led by our MARA team, provides a novel platform for evaluating world modeling and causal reasoning in both human and artificial intelligence.

At NeurIPS? Interested in software tools for causal machine learning and doubly robust estimation? Come to our spotlight poster on Friday in the West Ballroom at 4:30 - #5001: Automated Efficient Estimation using Monte Carlo Efficient Influence Functions
