A group of Berkeley researchers, including electrical engineering and computer sciences professor Pieter Abbeel, director of the Berkeley Robot Learning Lab and co-director of the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) lab, has released a state-of-the-art open-sourced Reinforcement Learning with Augmented Data (RAD) module. The reinforcement learning algorithm, used in machine learning for robotics, beats prior modules, including Google AI's PlaNet, DeepMind's Dreamer, and SLAC from Berkeley and DeepMind.
