Why Momentum Really Works

We often think of Momentum as a means of dampening oscillations and speeding up the iterations, leading to faster convergence. But it has other interesting behavior. It allows a larger range of step-sizes to be used, and creates its own oscillations. What is going on?

Playing Atari with Deep Reinforcement Learning

The paper presents he first deep learning model to successfully learn control policies directly from high-dimensional sensory input using reinforcement learning. It's a must read for AI scientists


MultiAgent Reinforcement Learning Independent vs Cooperative Agents

In this paper, the author use reinforcement learning to study intelligent agents. Each reinforcement learning agent can incrementally learn an efficient decision policy over a state space by trial and error where the…Read More
