Reinforcement learning for the birds

Check out the in-depth tutorials on reinforcement learning, machine learning, NLP, and more at the Artificial Intelligence Conference in New York City, April 15-18, 2019. Early price ends March 1. I just read a fascinating article about an experiment in bird psychology. We've known for a long time that bird songs aren't innate; they're learned. If you listen carefully to your back yard birds in the spring, you can hear the young birds learning their songs; you'll probably hear a few that can't get it right, and that gradually get better as summer progresses.
