Got questions about self-driving cars? 🤖 🚘
Later this season, I'll be chatting to Prof. Shimon Whiteson (@shimon8282.bsky.social) from @ox.ac.uk and @waymo.bsky.social about machine learning for autonomous vehicles.
Send me your questions for Shimon in the comments below! #Robots #Robotics #AI
Check out our new work on using low-rank perturbations to make evolution strategies work for billion-parameter models.
Waymo is coming to London next year.
Check out our new work on learning to drive in new cities without collecting any new demonstrations in that city. All we need is a simple reward function and readily available map and meta-information about the city. Self-play reinforcement learning does the rest!
Our survey on meta reinforcement learning has now been published by Foundations and Trends in Machine Learning: nowpublishers.com/article/Deta...
