[Theory] REMINDER: 2/3 TTIC Colloquium: Raia Hadsell, Google DeepMind

[Mary Marre]

*When:*      Monday, February 3rd at 11:00 am



*Where:*     TTIC, 6045 S. Kenwood Avenue, 5th Floor, Room 526



*Who: *       Raia Hadsell, Google DeepMind



*Title:*        Scalable Robot Learning in Rich Environments


*Abstract: *Deep reinforcement learning has rapidly grown as a research
field with far-reaching potential for artificial intelligence. Games and
simple physical simulations have been used as the main benchmark domains
for many fundamental developments. As the field matures, it is important to
develop more sophisticated learning systems with the aim of solving more
complex real-world tasks, but problems like catastrophic forgetting and
data efficiency remain critical, particularly for robotic domains. This
talk will cover some of the challenges that exist for learning from
interactions in more complex, constrained, and real-world settings, in
particular legged locomotion, navigation, and tactile manipulation, and
describe some promising new approaches that have emerged.



*Host:* Matthew Walter <mwalter at ttic.edu>
