Journal Club, episode 4

Lan presents a blog post from Google Deepmind about Dopamine and temporal difference learning. This is the story of a fruitful collaboration between Neuroscience and AI researchers that found the activity of dopamine neurons in the mouse ventral tegmental area during a learnt probablistic reward task was consistent with distributional temporal-difference reinforcement learning. That's a mouthful, go read it yourself!

Kyle brings the news item Hey Alexa! Sorry I fooled you ... from MIT News informing listeners that the adversarial attacks are possible on natural language, not just computer vision.

George talks about his first attempts at designing an Auto-Trading Agent with Deep Q Networks and how he was outsmarted by a group of 20 neurons.
