Our finding continues the modern trend of achieving strong results with decades-old ideas. For example, in 2012, the "AlexNet" paper showed how to design, scale and train convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to achieve extremely strong results on image recognition tasks, at a time when most researchers thought that CNNs were not a promising approach to computer vision. Similarly, in 2013, the Deep Q-Learning paper showed how to combine Q-Learning with CNNs to successfully solve Atari games, reinvigorating RL as a research field with exciting experimental (rather than theoretical) results. Likewise, our work demonstrates that ES achieves strong performance on RL benchmarks, dispelling the common belief that ES methods are impossible to apply to high dimensional problems. ES is easy to implement and scale.

It is now table stakes for artificial intelligence algorithms to "learn" about the world around them. The next level: For AI bots to learn how to talk to each other -- and develop their own shared language. New research released last week by OpenAI, the artificial intelligence nonprofit lab founded by Elon Musk and Y Combinator president Sam Altman, details how they're training AI bots to create their own language, based on trial and error, as the bots move around a set environment. This is different from how artificial intelligence algorithms typically learn -- using large sets of data, like to recognize a dog by taking in thousands of pictures of dogs. The world the researchers created for the AI bots to learn in is a computer simulation of a simple, two-dimensional white square.

I know OpenAI will be releasing their official version sometime soon, but for those of you who want to try out using ES right away I made my own implementation. Let me know if you have any comments on it!

Have you ever experienced the dread of overhearing two people, speaking a language you don't understand, begin laughing wildly? You just have to wonder what it is they're talking about, and if it's a joke at your expense. Heck, maybe you even check your teeth to make sure you aren't walking around with half of your lunchtime ham sandwich stuck to your gums. As Wired reports, researchers at OpenAI have made some huge strides in getting bots to communicate with each other, and without actually telling them how to do so. The group published a research paper earlier this week explaining exactly how they were able to accomplish the complex task, and it's all based on reinforcement learning.

OpenAI research has a short introduction on their newest research "Learning to Communicate". There are many trends that I watch for in the field of Deep Learning. Two trends that are related and I believe going to be very promising areas are language learning and multi-agent communication. If you have not been watching, this week has had a tremendous release of papers involving the former and culminating with OpenAI's post, stitching it all together! Let me explain though what transpired in this amazing week.

Robots have learned how to communicate with each other by creating their own language, a new report explains. Experts at artificial intelligence research group OpenAI conducted an experiment that challenged software bots to complete a series of tasks, such as moving to a specific location, in a simple, two-dimensional virtual world. The team used a technique called reinforcement learning, presenting the challenges as cooperative rather than competitive, and rewarding the robots for completing them. "We've just released initial results in which we teach AI agents to create language by dropping them into a set of simple worlds, giving them the ability to communicate, and then giving them goals that can be best achieved by communicating with other agents," wrote the OpenAI team in a blog post.

Igor Mordatch is working to build machines that can carry on a conversation. That's something so many people are working on. In Silicon Valley, chatbot is now a bona fide buzzword. He doesn't deal in the AI techniques that typically reach for language. He's a roboticist who began his career as an animator. He spent time at Pixar and worked on Toy Story 3, in between stints as an academic at places like Stanford and the University of Washington, where he taught robots to move like humans.

ChainerRL is a deep reinforcement learning library that implements various state-of-the-art deep reinforcement algorithms in Python using Chainer, a flexible deep learning framework. ChainerRL is tested with Python 2.7 and 3.5.1 . For other requirements, see requirements.txt. ChainerRL contains atari_py as dependencies, and windows users may face error while installing it. This problem is discussed in OpenAI gym issues, and one possible counter measure is to enable "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" for Windows 10 users.
