Facebook AI Research’s Tim & Heinrich on democratizing reinforcement learning research

Since reinforcement learning requires hefty compute resources, it can be tough to keep up without a serious budget of your own. Find out how the team at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) is looking to increase access and level the playing field with the help of NetHack, an archaic rogue-like video game from the late 80s. The NetHack Learning Environment: Reinforcement learning, intrinsic motivation: Knowledge transfer: Tim Rocktäschel is a Research Scientist at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) London and a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at University College London (UCL).
