Lecture 3: Meta Reinforcement Learning
Abstract
In the final lecture of the seminar series we discuss the different paradigms for "learning to learn" with reinforcement learning. We analyse the challenges of doing so at scale, and describe the fundamental algorithmic and engineering tools to overcome these challenges. We conclude with an overview of the open research questions for this active area of RL research.
