Google teaches its AI to DREAM so it can boost its learning speed

Google's AI achieved record scores playing Atari and beat a human during a game of Go – but to do so, the system needed constant training over a long period of time. In order to speed up and simplify the learning process, the team at DeepMind has now taught its AI to dream in a way that is similar to animals. After replaying sequences of a game containing rewarding events, the system proved to learn the stages 10 times faster than previous algorithms. To speed up the learning process, the team at DeepMind has now taught its AI to dream in a way that is similar to animals. After the system began'dreaming' about a game called Labyrinth (pictured), it proved to learn the stages 10x faster than the previous algorithms DeepMind's system Unreal was augmented with two additional tasks.
