The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was by a team at New York University: "The Next Decade in AI: Four Steps Towards Robust Artificial Intelligence" by Gary Marcus (Feb 2020)
Leading researcher Yoshua Bengio (Université de Montréal)
This week was active for "Computer Science - Multiagent Systems", with 23 new papers.
Over the past week, 33 new papers were published in "Computer Science - Neural and Evolutionary Computing".
The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was "Learning to Continually Learn" by Shawn Beaulieu et al (Feb 2020), which was referenced 2 times, including in the article OpenAI’s Jeff Clune on deep learning’s Achilles’ heel and a faster path to AGI in Venturebeat. The paper author, Jeff Clune (University of Wyoming), was quoted saying "This is relatively unheard-of in machine learning. To my knowledge, it’s the longest sequence of tasks that AI has been able to do experiments to and at the end of it, it’s still pretty good at all the tasks that it saw".
Leading researcher Pieter Abbeel (University of California, Berkeley) came out with "Generalized Hindsight for Reinforcement Learning".
This week was very active for "Computer Science - Robotics", with 73 new papers.
The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was "Design and Experiments with a Low-Cost Single-Motor Modular Aquatic Robot" by Gedaliah Knizhnik et al (Feb 2020), which was referenced 3 times, including in the article Modboat: A low-cost aquatic robot with a single motor in Tech Xplore. The paper author, Gedaliah Knizhnik (Researchers), was quoted saying "Our robot is not as good a swimmer as some other robots, but this design is unique in that it only uses one motor, when standard convention dictates you need at least two".
