Machine learning (ML) might be considered the core subset of artificial intelligence (AI), and reinforcement learning may be the quintessential subset of ML that people imagine when they think of AI.

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 ...

To go from learning individuals to a learning organization, you need a common direction — which must be set by top management. The megatrends transforming the world require a no less radical ...

In the 1980s, Andrew Barto and Rich Sutton were considered eccentric devotees to an elegant but ultimately doomed idea—having machines learn, as humans and animals do, from experience. Decades on, ...

Who are they? Richard Sutton and Andrew Barto are pioneers of reinforcement learning, a machine learning technique modern AI models utilize. Sutton is often referred to as the "father of reinforcement ...

This study seeks to construct a basic reinforcement learning-based AI-macroeconomic simulator. We use a deep RL (DRL) approach (DDPG) in an RBC macroeconomic model. We set up two learning scenarios, ...

The concept of "reinforcement" has a long history in psychology. Pavlov used the term reinforcement to explain the strengthening of the association between the sound of a bell and the production of ...
