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.

Curiosity and Procrastination in Reinforcement Learning

Episodic Curiosity through Reachability: Observations are added to memory, reward is computed based on how far the current observation is from the most similar observation in memory. The agent receives more reward for seeing observations which are not yet represented in memory.
