Deep Neural Networks and Optimization: A promising tag team

Machine learning has been a computer sciences buzzword for years. The technology has a lot of potential and a huge number of applications that spoke to people with and without knowledge of computer sciences. Image, text and speech recognition, social profiling, computergames, everything seemed possible. Machine learning is not as much in the...

Reinforcement Learning Across Timescales

This project addresses a fundamental problem faced by many reinforcement learning agents. Commonly used reinforcement learning agents can be seen to have deteriorating performances at increasing frequencies, as they are unable to correctly learn the ordering of expected returns for actions that are applied. We call this the disappearing...
