Submission Guide

Call for Papers

The IBRL workshop will cover a wide range of topics and promote discussion on different inductive biases and their impact on different sub-fields of RL; topics include but are not limited to:

• Abstractions and structured policies: task decomposition, hierarchical RL, symmetries, etc.

• Generalization: multi-task RL, continual RL, meta RL, etc.

• Relational biases and representations: graph-based methodologies, message-passing policies, communication in MARL, composability, etc.

• Learning biases for robotics: physics priors, task-specific knowledge, geometric constraints, etc.

• Future directions: real-world applications, learning biases in RLHF, etc.
