Three papers involving researchers from CAIDAS have been accepted at the 40th Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2026). NeurIPS is one of the world’s leading and most prestigious conferences in artificial intelligence and machine learning, bringing together researchers from academia and industry to present advances in areas such as machine learning, neural networks and data science.

We are happy to announce that the paper "Gradient Iterated Temporal-Difference Learning" by Théo Vincent, Kevin Gerhardt, Yogesh Tripathi, Habib Maraqten, Adam White, Martha White, Jan Peters, and Carlo D'Eramo has received the Outstanding Paper Award on Empirical Reinforcement Learning Research at the Reinforcement Learning Conference (RLC) 2026 in Montreal, Canada.

We are happy to announce that CAIDAS together with FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the University of Technology Nuremberg (UTN), has successfully established the new ELLIS Unit Franconia. With the unit now officially admitted to the European ELLIS network, the partnership strengthens the international visibility of AI research in Franconia.
