This video, a follow up from his intro video on reinforcement learning, Arxiv dives into three advanced papers that address the problem of the sparse reward setting in Deep Reinforcement Learning and pose interesting research directions for mastering unsupervised learning in autonomous agents.
In this video, Siraj Raval explores how key reinforcement learning algorithms help explain how the human brain works, specifically through the lens of the neurotransmitter known as ‘dopamine’.
These algorithms have been used to help train everything from autopilot systems for airplanes, to video game bots. TD-Learning, Rescorla-Wagner, Kalman Filters, and Bayesian Learning, all in one go!
By leveraging powerful prior knowledge about how the world works, humans can quickly figure out efficient strategies in new and unseen environments.
Currently, even state-of-the-art Reinforcement Learning algorithms typically don’t have strong priors and this is one of the fundamental challenges in current research on Transfer Learning.

As the quality of deep fakes get better and they continue to get easier and faster to make, the technology’s potential for harm grows ever greater.
Bloomberg’s QuickTake explains how good deep fakes have gotten in the last few months, and what’s being done to counter them.
While at NDC in Sydney, Carl and Richard talked to Joe Albahari about using LINQPad to create neural nets from scratch.
LINQPad is an interactive development environment for .NET – originally focused on helping you build LINQ expressions. But as Joe explains, it can be used for all sorts of interactive coding experiences – including learning to build neural networks. Joe talks through the fundamentals of neural nets and what it’s like to build neural nets yourself. Even if you move on to more advanced machine learning tooling, learning the fundamentals are useful!
Joe Albahari is an O’Reilly author and the inventor of LINQPad. He’s written seven books on C# and LINQ, including the upcoming “C# 7.0 in a Nutshell”. He speaks regularly at conferences and user groups, and has been a C# MVP for nine years running.

Siraj Raval explores the world of automated training with reinforcement learning with a few lines of Python code!
In this video, he demonstrates how a popular reinforcement learning technique called “Q learning” allows an agent to approximate prices for stocks in a portfolio. The literature of reinforcement learning is incredibly rich. There are so many concepts, like TD-Learning and Actor-Critic for example, that have real-world potential.
