Unity Technologies has linked its game engine to machine learning software, in order to train better virtual characters and physical robots.

But some of the key principles of reinforcement learning have been applied to AI models. This is often referred to as deep reinforcement learning (since it is leveraged with deep learning).

Like OpenAI’s Gym and DeepMind Lab, the Unity ML Toolkit can be used to simulate actions and train agents using forms of deep reinforcement learning.

Meanwhile, the ML-Agents package is used to provide the brain for Albert, the AI charged with learning to walk. The video steps through a variety of “deep reinforcement learning” tasks.

An AI strategy proven adept at board games like Chess and Go, reinforcement learning, has now been adapted for a powerful protein design program. The results show that reinforcement learning can ...
