GeorgiaChal · x · 2026-08-10
NeurIPS 2026 announced the PTA workshop, focusing on the transition "From Pretrained Representations to Acting Agents."
The workshop targets the interface between pretraining and control, exploring how rich semantic and causal knowledge from pretrained models can be transformed into reliable sequential decision-making behaviors, such as adapting to new goals, reasoning under uncertainty, and maintaining robustness.
Event Details:
- Dates & Location: December 11/12, 2026, in Sydney, Australia
- Submission Deadline: August 29, 2026 (AoE)
- Invited Speakers: Features researchers from CMU, Princeton, Harvard, Google DeepMind, and Sakana AI.
