The goal of the Adaptive AI Agents research program is to push the boundaries of AI algorithms in the ability to adjust their actions based on new changes in the environment, thus creating more versatile AI agents that are able to make decisions autonomously.
Techniques we explore:
- Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)
- Reinforcement Learning
- Transfer Learning
