The GoodAI team taking part in the Meta-learning & Multi-agent Learning Workshop
Last week GoodAI organized the first Meta-Learning & Multi-Agent Learning Workshop which throughout the week saw over 60 participants from across the world take part including speakers from Google Brain, DeepMind, OpenAI, University of Oxford, Stanford University, MIT and many more.
The workshop consisted of 19 talks as well as discussions and Big Picture panels and was inspired by GoodAI’s Badger Architecture. It covered topics such as:
- Modular meta-learning
- Multi-agent learning
- Reinforcement learning
- Deep learning
- Open-Ended learning
- And much more.
At the start of the workshop, GoodAI announced the new GoodAI Grants initiative, a $300,000 grant fund that will be used to support researchers or research groups working on topics that can build on and improve GoodAI’s Badger Architecture.
