Train Your Reinforcement Learning Agents at the OpenAI Gym

Today OpenAI, a non-profit artificial intelligence research company, launched OpenAI Gym, a toolkit for developing and comparing reinforcement learning algorithms. It supports teaching agents everything from walking to playing games like Pong or Go. OpenAI researcher John Schulman shared some details about his organization, and how OpenAI Gym will make it easier for AI researchers to design, iterate and improve their next generation applications. John studied physics at Caltech, and went to UC Berkeley for graduate school. There, after a brief stint in neuroscience, he studied machine learning and robotics under Pieter Abbeel, eventually honing in on reinforcement learning as his primary topic of interest.
