Product search usually involves a retrieval phase and a ranking phase. Learning-to-rank models improve the ranking phase by learning from customer feedback—and now Amazon scientists have extended that to include retrieval. #ReinforcementLearning

Building datasets big enough to train machine learning models is a recurring challenge for Amazon Robotics AI researchers. The solution: a “universal model” able to generalize to virtually any package segmentation task. #ML

Too often, we focus on fixing the robot instead of the environment that it operates in. In this new paper, we do the latter, and show that subtle modifications to the robots’ surroundings make a real difference: https://t.co/qZBEc7bOeW

Traditional approaches to the design of multi-agent navigation algorithms consider the environment as a fixed constraint, despite the obvious influence of spatial constraints on agents'...

Look at the speed of these things! They're fully autonomous, cost less than $400 and are faster than anything coming out of universities. Great example of an amateur community solving a hard tech problem and having a blast doing it. Congrats Daniel! (I'm the MC at left)
Great racing against @a1k0n today at @diyrobocars! Pretty cool to both break sun-9s at the track today I think I got very lucky with the cones today when it mattered. Thanks as always @circuitlaunch for amazing venue. (My car is black)

My favorite conference is a small one: The Multi-disciplinary Conference on Reinforcement Learning and Decision Making. It works best if only those with a genuine interest in crossing disciplines attend.
