Reptile: A scalable meta-learning algorithm

We’ve developed a simple meta-learning algorithm called Reptile which works by repeatedly sampling a task, performing stochastic gradient descent on it, and updating the initial parameters towards the final parameters learned on that task. Reptile is the...

Some considerations on learning to explore via meta-reinforcement learning

We consider the problem of exploration in meta reinforcement learning. Two new meta reinforcement learning algorithms are suggested: E-MAML and E-RL². Results are presented on a novel environment we call "Krazy World" and a set of maze environments. We show...

Preparing for malicious uses of AI

We’ve co-authored a paper that forecasts how malicious actors could misuse AI technology, and potential ways we can prevent and mitigate these threats. This paper is the outcome of almost a year of sustained work with our colleagues at the Future of...

Interpretable machine learning through teaching

We’ve designed a method that encourages AIs to teach each other with examples that also make sense to humans. Our approach automatically selects the most informative examples to teach a concept—for instance, the best images to describe the concept of...

Discovering types for entity disambiguation

We’ve built a system for automatically figuring out which object is meant by a word by having a neural network decide if the word belongs to each of about 100 automatically-discovered “types” (non-exclusive categories).

Scaling Kubernetes to 2,500 nodes

We’ve been running⁠(opens in a new window) Kubernetes⁠(opens in a new window) for deep learning research for over two years. While our largest-scale workloads manage bare cloud VMs directly, Kubernetes provides a fast iteration cycle, reasonable...
