Deep Neural Networks and Reinforcement Learning for Building Intelligent Machines.

The goal of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is to build machines that can display complex behavior, such as for example reaching human level performance in some tasks. The Machine Learning approach to achieve this goal is to provide the machine with a powerful mathematical framework and data from which complex behaviors can be learned. In this talk, I will introduce deep neural networks and reinforcement learning, which are considered two of the most promising mathematical frameworks solving difficult tasks in many different domains, and discuss their strengths and challenges.
