Advanced Technologies and Applications of Deep Reinforcement Learning

Talk By Hechang CHEN

Apr 12, 2024 Friday

Abstract:

Deep reinforcement learning combines the perceptual capabilities of deep learning with the decision-making prowess of reinforcement learning, allowing intelligent agents to execute various action decisions directly based on input environmental information. This represents an artificial intelligence algorithm that more closely mirrors human cognitive processes. In recent years, deep reinforcement learning has found broad application in domains such as intelligent gaming, financial risk control, and infectious disease prevention and control. For instance, in 2016, AlphaGo, which is based on a reinforcement learning algorithm framework, defeated the world champion of Go, heralding a new wave of technological transformation from theoretical research to practical application in artificial intelligence. This report will present the recent research findings of our group in the frontier technologies and practical applications of deep reinforcement learning.
