Google DeepMind has successfully navigated a 3D maze without cheating—it didn't have access to the digital world's internal code. Instead, it walked around walls and into rooms by "sight," as New ...

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a branch of machine learning that addresses problems where there is no explicit training data. Q-learning is an algorithm that can be used to solve some types of RL ...

Researchers have developed an AI-powered robot they claim can beat the physical marble game Labyrinth faster than humans are capable of. Thomas Bi and Raffaello D’Andrea of ETH Zurich created ...

Behavioral psychologists have long used mazes to study memory and learning; their subjects, mostly rats and mice. Now researchers are beginning to use the same approach to test an entirely new kind of ...

When it comes to machine learning, every performance gain is worth a bit of celebration. That's particularly true for Google's DeepMind division, which has already proven itself by beating a Go world ...
