  1. New Ideas in Reinforcement Learning

    Today’s blog post is about Reinforcement Learning (RL), a concept that is very relevant to Artificial General Intelligence. The goal of RL is to create an agent that can learn to behave optimally in an environment by observing the consequences – rewards – of its own actions. By incorporating deep neural networks into RL agents,…

  2. Reading list – October 2017

    This month’s reading list has two parts: a non-Reinforcement Learning list, and a Reinforcement Learning list. Since our next blog post will be on Reinforcement Learning, readers might like to refer to our RL reading list separately. Non-Reinforcement Learning reading list A Framework for searching for General Artificial Intelligence Authors: Marek Rosa, Jan Feyereisl, The…

  3. Attention in Artificial Intelligence systems

    One of the features of our brain is its modularity. It is characterised by distinct but interacting subsystems that underlie key functions such as memory, language, perceptions, etc. Understanding the complex interplay between these modules requires decomposing them into a set of components. Indeed, this modular approach to modeling the brain is one of the…

  4. Reading list – August 2017

    1. Neuroscience-inspired Artificial Intelligence Authors: Demis Hassabis, Dharshan Kumaran, Christopher Summerfield, and Matthew Botvinick Type: Review article in Neuron Publication date: 19 July 2017 This paper outlined the contribution of neuroscience to the most recent advances in AI and argued that the study of neural computation in humans and other animals could provide useful (albeit…

  5. Unsupervised Learning with Spike-Timing Dependent Plasticity

    Our brain is a source of great inspiration for the development of Artificial General Intelligence. In fact, one of the common views is that any effort in developing human-level AI is almost destined to fail without an intimate understanding of how the brain works. However, we do not understand our brain that well yet. But…

  6. Introducing Yi-Ling

    Hello everyone! I am Yi-Ling and I am the newest member of the AGI project team. It is an incredibly exciting time to be dipping one’s toes in the field of Artificial Intelligence, given the impressive progress and explosion of AI applications in recent years. In my case, I am actually going to dive in…
