Upside Down Reinforcement Learning with Jürgen Schmidhuber

Today we're joined by Jürgen Schmidhuber, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist of NNAISENSE, the Scientific Director at IDSIA, as well as a Professor of AI at USI and SUPSI in Switzerland. Jürgen's lab is well known for creating the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network which has become a prevalent neural network, used commonly devices such as smartphones, which we discuss in detail in our first conversation with Jürgen back in 2017. In this conversation, we dive into some of Jürgen's more recent work, including his recent paper, Reinforcement Learning Upside Down: Don't Predict Rewards -- Just Map Them to Actions.
