ICLR and MetaLearning
Apr. 27th, 2020 02:22 pmICLR 2020 is online-only (registration for full participation is a hundred of US units, but a lot of things can be watched for free).
In particular, the video of yesterday's workshop www.betr-rl.ml/2020/ "Beyond “Tabula Rasa” in Reinforcement Learning (BeTR-RL): Agents that remember, adapt, and generalize" is available here:
www.betr-rl.ml/2020/program/
I've seen Jeff Clune's invited talk (very interesting), and also the panel with Jürgen Schmidhuber (reasonably interesting, with him and all 4 invited speakers, that's at about 2:40 in the video; Jeff's talk should be about 3:30 later than the panel).
During the panel, Jeff's remark about advantages of multi-agent architecture was quite interesting for me, and Jürgen made a radical remark that at the end of the day there will be a 10-line program generating advanced super-human AI, and with the benefit of hindsight we'll say that it was obvious and it was strange that we have not found it earlier (I hope I am not distorting his words too much; of course, the first sentence on his website says: "Since age 15 or so, the main goal of professor Jürgen Schmidhuber has been to build a self-improving Artificial Intelligence (AI) smarter than himself, then retire".).
