1. MineDojo: Building Open-Ended Embodied Agents with Internet-Scale Knowledge (2022 · 149 citations)
   Most embodied agents are trained from scratch in narrow environments with hand-designed objectives, so they rarely generalize to new goals.
2. Eureka: Human-Level Reward Design via Coding Large Language Models (2023 · 142 citations)
   Hand-crafting reward functions for reinforcement learning is slow, relies on trial and error, and often yields sub-optimal results.
3. Pre-Trained Language Models for Interactive Decision-Making (2022 · 124 citations)
   The paper asks whether language models trained only on text can serve as a backbone for sequential decision-making, even when the task involves no language.
