Deep Policy

Deep policy research focuses on using deep learning to create robust and efficient control policies for complex systems, primarily in robotics and game playing. Current efforts concentrate on improving policy robustness to noise and adversarial inputs, developing efficient training methods like policy sparsification and alternative gradient calculations (e.g., beyond backpropagation through time), and enhancing explainability through input attribution methods. These advancements are significant because they address limitations of existing deep reinforcement learning approaches, leading to more reliable, resource-efficient, and understandable AI agents for real-world applications.
