A Google Brain engineer’s guide to entering AI

Note that this guide was written in November 2018 to complement an in-depth conversation on the 80,000 Hours Podcast with Catherine Olsson and Daniel Ziegler on how to transition from computer science and software engineering in general into ML engineering, with a focus on alignment and safety. If you like this guide, we’d strongly encourage you to check out the podcast episode where we discuss some of the instructions here, and other relevant advice. Technical AI safety is a multifaceted area of research, with many sub-questions in areas such as reward learning, robustness, and interpretability.

These will all need to be answered in order to make sure AI development will go well for humanity as systems become more and more powerful.

Horizon: An open-source reinforcement learning platform

Horizon is the first open source end-to-end platform that uses applied reinforcement learning (RL) to optimize systems in large-scale production environments. The workflows and algorithms included in this release were built on open frameworks — PyTorch 1.0, Caffe2, and Spark — making Horizon accessible to anyone using RL at scale. We’ve put Horizon to work internally over the past year in a wide range of applications, including helping to personalize M suggestions, delivering more meaningful notifications, and optimizing streaming video quality.

Tensorflow 2.0: models migration and new design

Tensorflow 2.0 will be a major milestone for the most popular machine learning framework: lots of changes are coming, and all with the aim of making ML accessible to everyone. These changes, however, requires for the old users to completely re-learn how to use the framework: this article describes all the (known) differences between the 1.x and 2.x version, focusing on the change of mindset required and highlighting the pros and cons of the new and implementations. This article can be a good starting point also for the novice: start thinking in the Tensorflow 2.0 way right now, so you don’t have to re-learn a new framework (unless until Tensorflow 3.0 will be released).
