Job opening🚨 Tired of AI agents limited to coding and web browsing? I am looking for a PhD student (overseas or UK) to work with @j_foerst at @UniofOxford and myself at @iconicgamesio, full details below deadline is 29th of Jan!

[Borja G. León @borruell]

Exited to share that the work I did at @SonyAI_global is public now and will be presented at @NeurIPSConf!

How fun would be to have a single reinforcement learning agent providing diverse competitive policies in AAA games?

Reinforcement learning in #AI is hard, so I’ve made a website to collect answers I’ve given to common RL questions.

It's named Decisions & Dragons. It’s launching with 8 questions and answers, but I will add to it in the future.

A 🧵to give a preview with the link below.

@davsca1 @Nature Congrats!!

[Peter Stone @PeterStone_TX]

Congratulations to the whole Sony AI team on what is surely one of the largest ever commercial deployments of an end-to-end reinforcement learning agent! It’s great to see all the positive feedback from gamers!

Sony’s Gran Turismo AI racer can drift now, making it even more unbeatable https://t.co/mm7g57cxWh

[Florian Fuchs @Florian_fuu]

Was a lot of fun to work on this unusal application of RL 💨

[Gran Turismo @thegranturismo]

Sony's AI driver flexes its drifting skills!

At the recent GT World Series Showdown, the audience was treated to a drift demo by GT Sophy. The autonomous racing AI broke traction and countersteered like a virtual drift king.

@egrefen @MinqiJiang @_rockt @UCL_DARK Congrats @MinqiJiang 🥳

[Sony AI @SonyAI_global]

You can find @Florian_fuu's @ic_arl presentation on how #GTSophy was trained using novel deep reinforcement learning techniques to outrace champion drivers in @thegranturismo below.

[ICARL @ic_arl]

Many thanks to @Florian_fuu for the presentation at the ICARL seminar series! 🙌 Many valuable insights on Reinforcement Learning for Game AI 🏎️ If you’ve missed it, you may find the recording on YouTube 🎥 https://t.co/bj5v300unM

[Florian Fuchs @Florian_fuu]

Very excited to present our work on Reinforcement Learning for Game AI at the Imperial College London! 🚗 I really appreciate that the organizers also allow everyone interested to join remotely

[ICARL @ic_arl]

Save the date! Our next speaker will be @Florian_fuu from @SonyAI_global

Florian will talk about reinforcement learning on Game AI 🤖🎮 with @thegranturismo and #GTSophy

#GTSophy and 'Race Together' wouldn't have been possible without the teams' ingenuity and dedication. Thank you to PDI and Sony Interactive Entertainment Cloud Gaming teams for collaborating with Sony AI to make this project an incredible breakthrough success.

[Florian Fuchs @Florian_fuu]

@MinqiJiang @_samvelyan Great work & thanks for the pointer! It would indeed be interesting to try that.
