Participation in the workshop is free of charge. Given the specific nature of the meeting it is limited to a restricted number of people, prospective attendees should submit either a brief statement of motivation or (preferably) an abstract to be presented as a poster or contributed talk.

Topics of interest involve open-ended lifelong learning in autonomous agents and robots, in particular:

• Autonomous robot open-ended learning
• Architectures for open-ended learning
• Multi-task reinforcement learning
• Deep reinforcement learning
• Intrinsic motivations
• Curriculum learning
• Goal self-generation
• Open-ended development
• Quality Diversity methods
• Multiple task solution and parameterized skills
• Neural/probabilistic representations and abstractions
• Goal-based skill learning
• Knowledge transfer and avoidance of catastrophic forgetting
• Compositionality and chunking
• Abstraction and hierarchies of goals and skills
• Visual planning and problem solving
• Mitigating risks of real-world deployment of open-ended learning systems
• Language-based reinforcement learning

Submission process

There are two ways to register for the meeting: either submit an abstract of work to present in the poster sessions (published or unpublished) or submit an abstract of ongoing work as a motivation letter. Please consider only one of those two submission options. The poster’s abstracts must be shorter or equal to 2 pages long.

Presented works might be selected for a dedicated talk.

The submission should be made by July 10th 2023 over open review: abstract submission webpage

An accepted submission (poster or motivation letter) is a valid registration for IMOL’23. The final decisions will be given by the 17th of July.
