This is brought to you by our Reinforcement Learning homework in which we were asked to implement the SAC algorithm. Something tells me this was not the ideal choice for literally the first Reinforcement Learning assignment given to students. 🫠
"Here we show how #ArtificialIntelligence can go beyond the current state of the art by discovering hitherto unknown routines. To realize this, we formulated the task of finding a better sorting routine as a single-player game. We then trained a new deep #ReinforcementLearning agent, #AlphaDev, to play this game. AlphaDev discovered small sorting algorithms from scratch that outperformed previously known human benchmarks. These algorithms have been integrated into the #LLVM standard C++ sort library3. This change to this part of the sort library represents the replacement of a component with an algorithm that has been automatically discovered using reinforcement learning."
I had a very full day, but I did manage to get out for a bunch of walks (and found witch's butter!) and listen to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/9)
