RL2: CBS NeuroTheory Reinforcement Learning Workshop
August 29 8a – 8p Geological Lecture Hall and Northwest Café, see https://www.rlandthebrain.com/.
RL at Harvard is a one-day workshop on reinforcement learning. We will learn about foundational concepts, discuss the latest advances, and make connections between disparate parts of the field. The latter half of the workshop will be a symposium on the neurobiology of causality and contingency, including a debate about the potential role of dopamine in learning causal relationships….
