Presented by Qian Xie, Cornell Hyperparameter optimization is crucial in real-world applications such as machine learning model training, robotics control, material design, and plasma physics. In transportation, hyperparameter optimization plays

Prof. Vinitsky Seminar: Robust Self-driving Emerges from Self-play

C2SMART Center Viz Lab 6 Metrotech Center, Room 460, Brooklyn

Self-play has powered breakthroughs in two-player and multi-player games. Here we show that self-play is a surprisingly effective strategy in another domain. We show that robust and naturalistic driving emerges
