The Alberta Plan: Sutton's Research Vision for Artificial Intelligence

For anyone familiar with Reinforcement Learning, it is hard not to know who Richard Sutton is. The Sutton & Barto textbook is considered canonical in the field. I always find it highly inspirational to study the views of genuine thought leaders. Thus, when they present a new research vision, I'm primed to listen. This summer, Sutton and his colleagues Bowling and Pilarski outlined a research vision for Artificial Intelligence, designing a blueprint for their research commitments in the next 5 to 10 years. The full document is only 13 pages long and comprehensively written, so it doesn't hurt to have a look.
