We explore building generative neural network models of popular reinforcement learning environments. Our world model can be trained quickly in an unsupervised manner to learn a compressed spatial and temporal representation of the environment. By using features extracted from the world model as inputs to an agent, we can train a very compact and simple policy that can solve the required task. We can even train our agent entirely inside of its own hallucinated dream generated by its world model, and transfer this policy back into the actual environment.
Use this tutorial to learn how to create your first Jupyter Notebook, important terminology, and how easily notebooks can be shared and published online.
What is Git, what is GitHub, and what's the difference? Learn the basics of Git and GitHub from the perspective of a Pythonista in this tutorial.
In this article I’m going to explain what keyword arguments are and why they’re used. I’ll then go over some more advanced uses of them that even long-time Python programmers may have overlooked because quite a few things have changed in recent versions of Python 3. If you’re already an experienced Python programmer, you might want to skip to the end.
Convolutions are an important tool in modern deep neural networks (DNNs). This post is going to discuss some common types of convolutions, specifically regular and depthwise separable convolutions. The focus will be on the implementation of these operation, showing from-scratch Numpy-based code to compute them and diagrams that explain how things work
