Emergent Risk Awareness in Rational Agents under Resource Constraints

NeurIPS 2025poster

Advanced reasoning models with agentic capabilities (AI agents) are deployed to interact with humans and to solve sequential decision‑making problems under (often approximate) utility functions and internal models. When such problems have resource or failure constraints where action sequences may be…

LOB-Bench: Benchmarking Generative AI for Finance - an Application to Limit Order Book Data

ICML 2025poster

While financial data presents one of the most challenging and interesting sequence modelling tasks due to high noise, heavy tails, and strategic interactions, progress in this area has been hindered by the lack of consensus on quantitative evaluation paradigms. To address this, we present **LOB-Ben…

Learning Likelihood-Free Reference Priors

ICML 2025poster

Simulation modeling offers a flexible approach to constructing high-fidelity synthetic representations of complex real-world systems. However, the increased complexity of such models introduces additional complications, for example when carrying out statistical inference procedures. This has motivat…

OvercookedV2: Rethinking Overcooked for Zero-Shot Coordination

ICLR 2025poster

AI agents hold the potential to transform everyday life by helping humans achieve their goals. To do this successfully, agents need to be able to coordinate with novel partners without prior interaction, a setting known as zero-shot coordination (ZSC). Overcooked has become one of the most popular b…

Interventionally Consistent Surrogates for Complex Simulation Models

NeurIPS 2024poster

Large-scale simulation models of complex socio-technical systems provide decision-makers with high-fidelity testbeds in which policy interventions can be evaluated and _what-if_ scenarios explored. Unfortunately, the high computational cost of such models inhibits their widespread use in policy-maki…
