Building reinforcement learning models and AI applications with Ray

Implementing AI

Secondary topics: Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning

Robert Nishihara (University of California, Berkeley), Philipp Moritz (University of California, Berkeley), Ion Stoica (University of California, Berkeley)

Building AI applications is hard, and building the next generation of AI applications, such as online and reinforcement learning (RL), is more challenging. Robert Nishihara, Philipp Moritz, and Ion Stoica lead a deep dive into Ray—a general-purpose framework for programming your cluster—its API, and system architecture and examine application examples, including state-of-the-art algorithms.
