Dear all, 

We are happy to announce that on Friday, March 15th, at 14h00 in Aula D’Antoni of Tor Vergata Math Department (different time and place than usual!), RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Maurizio Parton (Università di Chieti-Pescara). 

Note: The seminar will be accessible also to non-experts and it is thought as an informal presentation + Q&A session about all you wanted to know about reinforcement learning and never dared to ask. Please spread the word with those (including students) who might be interested in the topic.

"The simple and magical interplay of deep learning and reinforcement learning”

Abstract: Reinforcement learning and deep learning are two completely different machine learning frameworks. Yet, they combine in a magical way to form deep reinforcement learning, which is the main driver of several of the recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, like game-playing AI, robotics, self-driving cars, advanced recommendation systems, chatbots, and beyond. I will give a concise overview of reinforcement learning and its magical interplay with deep learning. Questions are more than welcome, and for this reason I will keep the presentation under 30 minutes, maximizing time for discussion.

We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the Teams streaming:
