Reinforcement Learning for Industrial AI with Pieter Abbeel - #476

Published: April 19, 2021, 6:09 p.m.

b'Today we\\u2019re joined by Pieter Abbeel, a Professor at UC Berkeley, co-Director of the Berkeley AI Research Lab (BAIR), as well as Co-founder and Chief Scientist at Covariant.\\n In our conversation with Pieter, we cover a ton of ground, starting with the specific goals and tasks of his work at Covariant, the shift in needs for industrial AI application and robots, if his experience solving real-world problems has changed his opinion on end to end deep learning, and the scope for the three problem domains of the models he\\u2019s building.\\n We also explore his recent work at the intersection of unsupervised and reinforcement learning, goal-directed RL, his recent paper \\u201cPretrained Transformers as Universal Computation Engines\\u201d and where that research thread is headed, and of course, his new podcast Robot Brains, which you can find on all streaming platforms today!\\n The complete show notes for this episode can be found at twimlai.com/go/476.'
