About us
Hands-on project-oriented data science, with a heavy focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence. We're here to get neck-deep into projects and actually do awesome things!
Join our new discord https://discord.gg/xtFVsSZuPG where you can:
- discuss more AI/ML papers
- suggest/plan events
- share and discuss github projects
- find and post jobs on our jobs channel
- buy/sell used local gpu/server equipment
- scroll our social media aggregators for the latest AI research news across Bsky, X, Reddit, Youtube, Podcasts, and more
The meetup consists of:
- recurring study groups (if you want to start one, just notify Ben to be made a meetup co-organizer).
- intermediate/advanced working groups (starting in 2019)
- occasional talks and gathering (aiming for at least quarterly starting in 2019)

MARL Chapter 9.9: Population-Based Training
·OnlineOnlineThis meeting will continue the material from Chapter 9 in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning: Foundations and Modern Approaches. In the last meeting we started the discussion of population based training and the double oracle algorithm in the context of zero-sum games. This time, we will dive deeper into the theoretical limits of the algorithm by comparing it to exact solution techniques with tabular stochastic games. We will start with the zero-sum case and minimax solutions where we can compare the oracle to value iteration. If time permits, we will also consider general sum games where we will need to use a meta solver such as WoLF-PHC to solve the metagame.
As usual you can find below links to the textbook, previous chapter notes, slides, and recordings of some of the previous meetings.
