Evolutionary reinforcement learning is an exciting frontier in machine learning, combining the strengths of two distinct approaches: reinforcement learning and evolutionary computation. In ...
Reinforcement learning (RL) is a type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment. Think of it like training a dog: every time the dog sits on ...
Why do we learn? This is the provocative question that Stanislas Dehaene asks in his book How We Learn. 1 But you’ve probably never asked yourself: “Why do we learn in the first place?” As Dehaene ...
The age of truly autonomous artificial intelligence, where systems proactively learn, adapt and optimize amid real-world complexities instead of simply reacting, has been a long-held aspiration. Now, ...

It was not long ago that the world watched World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov lose a decisive match against a supercomputer. IBM’s Deep Blue embodied the state of the art in the late 1990s, when a ...
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 ...
