Reinforcement learning uses rewards and penalties to teach computers how to play games and robots how to perform tasks independently You have probably heard about Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo program, ...

A startup called CogitAI has developed a platform that lets companies use reinforcement learning, the technique that gave AlphaGo mastery of the board game Go. Gaining experience: AlphaGo, an AI ...

ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, today announced that David Silver is the recipient of the 2019 ACM Prize in Computing for breakthrough advances in computer game-playing. Silver is a ...

Humans possess a remarkable balance between stability and flexibility, enabling them to quickly establish new plans and ...

Today's AI agents are a primitive approximation of what agents are meant to be. True agentic AI requires serious advances in reinforcement learning and complex memory.

Reinforcement learning is a subset of machine learning. It enables an agent to learn through the consequences of actions in a specific environment. It can be used to teach a robot new tricks, for ...

Google’s Deepmind artificial intelligence unit has been working on systems that play the ancient board game called Go. (Wikimedia Commons Photo) Deepmind, the artificial intelligence research ...

Google's DeepMind lab has built an artificially intelligent program that taught itself to become one of the world's most dominant Go players. Google says the program, AlphaGo Zero, endowed itself with ...

Geoff Goodhill receives funding from the Australian Research Council and the National Health and Medical Research Council. Humankind lost another important battle with artificial intelligence (AI) ...

Playing against a top Go player, Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo artificial-intelligence program has puzzled commentators with moves that are often described as “beautiful,” but do not fit into the usual ...

Progress in self-­driving cars and other forms of automation will slow dramatically unless machines can hone skills through experience. Inside a simple computer simulation, a group of self-driving ...
