Semi-supervised knowledge transfer for deep learning from private training data

Report from the self-organizing conference

Last week we hosted over a hundred and fifty AI practitioners in our offices for our first self-organizing conference on machine learning.

Transfer from simulation to real world through learning deep inverse dynamics model

Infrastructure for deep learning

Deep learning is an empirical science, and the quality of a group’s infrastructure is a multiplier on progress. Fortunately, today’s open-source ecosystem makes it possible for anyone to build great deep learning infrastructure.

Machine Learning Unconference

The latest information about the Unconference is now available at the Unconference wiki, which will be periodically updated with more information for attendees.

Team update

We’ve hired more great people to help us achieve our goals. Welcome, everyone!

Special projects

Impactful scientific work requires working on the right problems—problems which are not just interesting, but whose solutions matter.

Concrete AI safety problems

We (along with researchers from Berkeley and Stanford) are co-authors on today’s paper led by Google Brain researchers, Concrete Problems in AI Safety. The paper explores many research problems around ensuring that modern machine learning systems operate as intended.

OpenAI technical goals

OpenAI’s mission is to build safe AI, and ensure AI’s benefits are as widely and evenly distributed as possible.

Generative models

This post describes four projects that share a common theme of enhancing or using generative models, a branch of unsupervised learning techniques in machine learning. In addition to describing our work, this post will tell you a bit more about generative models: what they are, why they are important...

Adversarial training methods for semi-supervised text classification

Team update

We’d like to welcome the latest set of team members to OpenAI (and we’re still hiring!)

OpenAI Gym Beta

We’re releasing the public beta of OpenAI Gym, a toolkit for developing and comparing reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. It consists of a growing suite of environments (from simulated robots to Atari games), and a site for comparing and reproducing results.

Welcome, Pieter and Shivon!

We have two more team updates.

Team++

We’ve had some fantastic people join over the past few months (and we’re still hiring). Welcome, everyone!

Weight normalization: A simple reparameterization to accelerate training of deep neural networks

Introducing OpenAI

OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research company. Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return. Since our research is free from financial obligations, we can better focus...
