A reinforcement learning-based four-legged robotic goalkeeper

Researchers at the Hybrid Robotics Group at UC Berkeley, Simon Fraser University and Georgia Institute of Technology have recently created a reinforcement learning model that allows a quadrupedal robot to efficiently play soccer in the role of goalkeeper. The model introduced in a paper pre-published on arXiv, improves the robot’s skills over time, through a …

Learning to Reason with Neural Networks: Generalization, Unseen Data and Boolean Measures

his paper considers the Pointer Value Retrieval (PVR) benchmark introduced in [ZRKB21], where a `reasoning’ function acts on a string of digits to produce the label. More generally, the paper considers the learning of logical functions with gradient descent (GD) on neural networks. It is first shown that in order to learn logical functions with …
