Policy Gradient methods and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO): diving into Deep RL!

Fantastic short video where Xander introduces Policy Gradient methods for Deep Reinforcement Learning. After a general overview, he dives into Proximal Policy Optimization: an algorithm designed at OpenAI that tries to find a balance between sample efficiency and code complexity. PPO is the algorithm used to train the OpenAI Five system and is also used in a wide range of other challenges like Atari and robotic control tasks.

Peter Mandelson event next Wednesday

I do not know if you people are as obsessed with this being as I am, Policy Network have another event on and the wonderful Peter will be attending. 

I will not be going - it would be beyond stalkerish, given that I already got that photo with him at the last policy network event, and even I have limits albeit low low low ones

Chuka's also going so if you're fans... And it's in the google campus, which is pretty exciting... 

just thought i'd tell you all in case anyone's interested :)

“In this series prominent thinkers and policymakers will revisit key texts and essays which have been seminal to progressive thinking. From the early architects of Swedish social democracy to Karl Polanyi’s analysis of the commodification of human relations brought about by capitalism or Tony Crosland’s critique of social democrat’s attachment to statism and public spending, high-level commentators will revisit these works to stress their relevance in our collective attempt to close the current ideological vacuum and renew social democratic thinking.”

Tyvärr är Sheri Bermans text om Nils Karleby, Ernst Wigforss och Per Albin Hansson lite för generell. Karlebys “Socialismen inför verkligheten” eller Wigforss “Har vi råd att arbeta?” hade gott förtjänat att ägnas egna texter istället för en allmän text om den svenska socialdemokratins andra generation.
