Myles Braithwaite will be presenting “CraftAssist: A Framework for Dialogue-enabled Interactive Agents” by Jonathan Gray et al.

In this paper, Facebook describes how they built CraftAssist, a Minecraft bot to interact just like another player that can move around and modify the world, and communicate with the player via the in-game chat. Facebook’s long term goal is to build assistants that can interact and collaborate with humans to actively learn new concepts and skills.

Hi, I’m Myles! I’m a community organizer at PyCon Canada and a Python engineer at Bungalow, building API endpoints for the mobile team out of their Toronto office. In my free time, I like to go urban exploring, make really really bad music, and rock climbing.
