- OpenAIOpenAI Scholars 2019: Applications openCompanies: OpenAIWe are now accepting applications for our second cohort of OpenAI Scholars, a program where we provide 6–10 stipends and mentorship to individuals from underrepresented groups to study deep learning full-time for 3 months and open-source a project.
- OpenAIOpenAI Fellows Winter 2019 & Interns Summer 2019Companies: OpenAIWe are now accepting applications for OpenAI Fellows and Interns for 2019.
- OpenAIFFJORD: Free-form continuous dynamics for scalable reversible generative modelsCompanies: OpenAIAbstract A promising class of generative models maps points from a simple distribution to a complex distribution through an invertible neural network. Likelihood-based training of these models requires restricting their architectures to allow cheap computation of Jacobian determinants. Alternatively, the Jacobian trace can be used if the transformation is specified by an ordinary differential equation. In this paper,
- OpenAIOpenAI Scholars 2018: Final projectsCompanies: OpenAIOur first cohort of OpenAI Scholars has now completed the program.
- OpenAIThe International 2018: ResultsCompanies: OpenAIOpenAI Five lost two games against top Dota 2 players at The International in Vancouver this week, maintaining a good chance of winning for the first 20–35 minutes of both games.
- OpenAILarge-scale study of curiosity-driven learningCompanies: OpenAIOpenAI Abstract Reinforcement learning algorithms rely on carefully engineering environment rewards that are extrinsic to the agent. However, annotating each environment with hand-designed, dense rewards is not scalable, motivating the need for developing reward functions that are intrinsic to the agent. Curiosity is a type of intrinsic reward function which uses prediction error as reward signal. In this paper: (a)
- OpenAIOpenAI Five Benchmark: ResultsCompanies: OpenAIYesterday, OpenAI Five won a best-of-three against a team of 99.95th percentile Dota players: Blitz, Cap, Fogged, Merlini, and MoonMeander—four of whom have played Dota professionally—in front of a live audience and 100,000 concurrent livestream viewers.
- OpenAILearning dexterityCompanies: OpenAIWe’ve trained a human-like robot hand to manipulate physical objects with unprecedented dexterity.
- OpenAIVariational option discovery algorithmsCompanies: OpenAIOpenAI Abstract We explore methods for option discovery based on variational inference and make two algorithmic contributions. First: we highlight a tight connection between variational option discovery methods and variational autoencoders, and introduce Variational Autoencoding Learning of Options by Reinforcement (VALOR), a new method derived from the connection. In VALOR, the policy encodes contexts from a noise d
- OpenAIOpenAI Scholars 2018: Meet our ScholarsCompanies: OpenAIOur first class of OpenAI Scholars is underway, and you can now follow along as this group of experienced software developers becomes machine learning practitioners.
- OpenAIOpenAI Five BenchmarkCompanies: OpenAIThe OpenAI Five Benchmark match is now over!
- OpenAIGlow: Better reversible generative modelsCompanies: OpenAIWe introduce Glow, a reversible generative model which uses invertible 1x1 convolutions. It extends previous work on reversible generative models and simplifies the architecture. Our model can generate realistic high resolution images, supports efficient sampling, and discovers features that can be used to manipulate attributes of data. We’re releasing code for the model and an online visualization tool so people can explore and build on these results.
