Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing images using recurrent attention. One of the methods includes determining a location in the first image; extracting a glimpse from the first image using the location; generating a glimpse representation of the extracted glimpse; processing the glimpse representation using a recurrent neural network to update a current internal state of the recurrent neural network to generate a new internal state; processing the new internal state to select a location in a next image in the image sequence after the first image; and processing the new internal state to select an action from a predetermined set of possible actions.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for asynchronous deep reinforcement learning. One of the systems includes a plurality of workers, wherein each worker is configured to operate independently of each other worker, and wherein each worker is associated with a respective actor that interacts with a respective replica of the environment during the training of the deep neural network.

Abstract: We describe a method of reinforcement learning for a subject system having multiple states and actions to move from one state to the next. Training data is generated by operating on the system with a succession of actions and used to train a second neural network. Target values for training the second neural network are derived from a first neural network which is generated by copying weights of the second neural network at intervals.

Abstract: A system and method for labelling aerial images. A neural network generates predicted map data. The parameters of the neural network are trained by optimizing an objective function which compensates for noise in the map images. The function compensates both omission noise and registration noise.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for distributed training of reinforcement learning systems. One of the methods includes receiving, by a learner, current values of the parameters of the Q network from a parameter server, wherein each learner maintains a respective learner Q network replica and a respective target Q network replica; updating, by the learner, the parameters of the learner Q network replica maintained by the learner using the current values; selecting, by the learner, an experience tuple from a respective replay memory; computing, by the learner, a gradient from the experience tuple using the learner Q network replica maintained by the learner and the target Q network replica maintained by the learner; and providing, by the learner, the computed gradient to the parameter server.
