Recent Advances in Deep Reinforcement Learning

Summary

Keith Ross, Dean of Computer Science, Data Science and Engineering at NYU Shanghai, will be giving a talk on recent advances in Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). The talk will review DRL breakthroughs and discuss algorithmic research on DRL for high-dimensional state and action spaces, with applications to robotic locomotion. Ross's research interests include deep reinforcement learning, Internet privacy, peer-to-peer networking, and computer network modeling. Why it matters: Reinforcement learning is a core area of AI research in the GCC region, and a talk by a prominent researcher can help inform and inspire local researchers.
