Jess and I discuss construction using graph neural networks. She makes AI agents that build structures to solve tasks in a simulated blocks and glue world using graph neural networks and deep reinforcement learning. We also discuss her work modeling mental simulation in humans and how it could be implemented in machines, and plenty more.
