Research Collection – Shall we play a game?
From a research point of view, games offer an amazing environment in which to develop new machine learning algorithms and techniques. And we hope, in due course, that those new algorithms will feed back not just into gaming, but into…
Reliability in Reinforcement Learning
| Romain Laroche
Reinforcement Learning (RL), much like scaling a 3,000-foot rock face, is about learning to make sequential decisions. The list of potential RL applications is expansive, spanning robotics (drone control), dialogue systems (personal assistants, automated call centers), the game industry (non-player…

Microsoft’s AI beats Ms. Pac-Man
The complexity of Ms. Pac-Man, with its many boards and moving parts, has made the classic title an especially difficult target. Until now, no human or machine has achieved the feat.
Hybrid Reward Architecture (HRA) Achieving super-human performance on Ms. Pac-Man
Games are popular as a test-bed for new machine learning techniques because they can be very challenging and allow for easy analysis of new learning techniques in a controlled environment. For reinforcement learning, where the goal is to learn good…
