  • Residual Networks for Computer Go
    IEEE TCIAIG 1 Residual Networks for Computer Go Tristan Cazenave Universite´ Paris-Dauphine, PSL Research University, CNRS, LAMSADE, 75016 PARIS, FRANCE Deep Learning for the game of Go recently had a tremendous success with the victory of AlphaGo against Lee Sedol in March 2016. We propose to use residual networks so as to improve the training of a policy network for computer Go. Training is faster than with usual convolutional networks and residual networks achieve high accuracy on our test set and a 4 dan level. Index Terms—Deep Learning, Computer Go, Residual Networks. I. INTRODUCTION Input EEP Learning for the game of Go with convolutional D neural networks has been addressed by Clark and Storkey [1]. It has been further improved by using larger networks [2]. Learning multiple moves in a row instead of only one Convolution move has also been shown to improve the playing strength of Go playing programs that choose moves according to a deep neural network [3]. Then came AlphaGo [4] that combines ReLU Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) with a policy and a value network. Deep neural networks are good at recognizing shapes in the game of Go. However they have weaknesses at tactical search Output such as ladders and life and death. The way it is handled in AlphaGo is to give as input to the network the results of Fig. 1. The usual layer for computer Go. ladders. Reading ladders is not enough to understand more complex problems that require search. So AlphaGo combines deep networks with MCTS [5]. It learns a value network the last section concludes.

  • ELF: an Extensive, Lightweight and Flexible Research Platform for Real-Time Strategy Games
    ELF: An Extensive, Lightweight and Flexible Research Platform for Real-time Strategy Games Yuandong Tian1 Qucheng Gong1 Wenling Shang2 Yuxin Wu1 C. Lawrence Zitnick1 1Facebook AI Research 2Oculus 1fyuandong, qucheng, yuxinwu, [email protected] [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we propose ELF, an Extensive, Lightweight and Flexible platform for fundamental reinforcement learning research. Using ELF, we implement a highly customizable real-time strategy (RTS) engine with three game environ- ments (Mini-RTS, Capture the Flag and Tower Defense). Mini-RTS, as a minia- ture version of StarCraft, captures key game dynamics and runs at 40K frame- per-second (FPS) per core on a laptop. When coupled with modern reinforcement learning methods, the system can train a full-game bot against built-in AIs end- to-end in one day with 6 CPUs and 1 GPU. In addition, our platform is flexible in terms of environment-agent communication topologies, choices of RL methods, changes in game parameters, and can host existing C/C++-based game environ- ments like ALE [4]. Using ELF, we thoroughly explore training parameters and show that a network with Leaky ReLU [17] and Batch Normalization [11] cou- pled with long-horizon training and progressive curriculum beats the rule-based built-in AI more than 70% of the time in the full game of Mini-RTS. Strong per- formance is also achieved on the other two games. In game replays, we show our agents learn interesting strategies. ELF, along with its RL platform, is open sourced at https://github.com/facebookresearch/ELF. 1 Introduction Game environments are commonly used for research in Reinforcement Learning (RL), i.e.

  • Development & Policy Forecast for Global and Chinese NEV Markets
    Development & Policy Forecast for Global and Chinese NEV Markets in 2021 Invited by China EV 100, officials and experts from domestic and foreign government agencies, industry associations, research institutions and businesses attended the 7th China EV 100 Forum in January 15-17, 2021. The summary below captures the observations and insight of the speakers at the forum on the industry trend and policy forecast in the world and China in 2021. Ⅰ. 2021 Global & China Auto Market Trend 1. In 2021, the global auto market may resume growth, and the NEV boom is set to continue. 2020 saw a prevalent downturn of the auto sector in major countries due to the onslaught of COVID-19, yet the sales of NEVs witnessed a spike despite the odds, with much greater penetration in various countries. The monthly penetration of electric vehicles in Germany jumped from 7% to 20% in half a year and is expected to hit 12% in 2020, up 220% year on year; Norway reported an 80% market share of EVs in November, which is projected to exceed 70% for the whole year, topping the global ranking. Multiple consultancy firms foresee a comeback of global sales growth and a continuance of NEV boom in 2021 as coronavirus eases. 2. China's auto market as a whole is expected to remain stable in 2021, 1 with a strong boost in NEV sales. In 2020, China spearheaded global NEV market growth with record sales of 1.367 million units. The Development Research Center of the State Council expects overall auto sales to grow slightly in 2021, which ranges 0-2%.

  • Improved Policy Networks for Computer Go
    Improved Policy Networks for Computer Go Tristan Cazenave Universite´ Paris-Dauphine, PSL Research University, CNRS, LAMSADE, PARIS, FRANCE Abstract. Golois uses residual policy networks to play Go. Two improvements to these residual policy networks are proposed and tested. The first one is to use three output planes. The second one is to add Spatial Batch Normalization. 1 Introduction Deep Learning for the game of Go with convolutional neural networks has been ad- dressed by [2]. It has been further improved using larger networks [7, 10]. AlphaGo [9] combines Monte Carlo Tree Search with a policy and a value network. Residual Networks improve the training of very deep networks [4]. These networks can gain accuracy from considerably increased depth. On the ImageNet dataset a 152 layers networks achieves 3.57% error. It won the 1st place on the ILSVRC 2015 classifi- cation task. The principle of residual nets is to add the input of the layer to the output of each layer. With this simple modification training is faster and enables deeper networks. Residual networks were recently successfully adapted to computer Go [1]. As a follow up to this paper, we propose improvements to residual networks for computer Go. The second section details different proposed improvements to policy networks for computer Go, the third section gives experimental results, and the last section con- cludes. 2 Proposed Improvements We propose two improvements for policy networks. The first improvement is to use multiple output planes as in DarkForest. The second improvement is to use Spatial Batch Normalization. 2.1 Multiple Output Planes In DarkForest [10] training with multiple output planes containing the next three moves to play has been shown to improve the level of play of a usual policy network with 13 layers.

  • ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS (ADAS) JUNE 2019 a Guide to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
    ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS (ADAS) JUNE 2019 A Guide to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems As technology becomes more advanced, a growing number of vehicles are being built with intelligent systems to help motorists. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, is a term used to describe these smart features. ADAS includes relatively simple features like rear view cameras to help with parking through to more complicated systems like Lane Departure Warning (LDW) that can detect a vehicle’s surroundings. These advanced systems can actually take some control of the vehicle, such as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB). In this guide, we describe the ADAS technology available and their benefits, which could be useful when you and your drivers are selecting your next vehicle. What is ADAS? Whether your car has adaptive high beams, a collision detection system or autonomous night vision, these are all classed as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). If you and your drivers understand what these smart features are and what they do, you can get the most benefit from them, improving your driving experience and making other road users safer. Please be aware that the information in this guide is correct as at June 2019 but things move fast in this area. 1 A guide to advanced driver assistance systems Light Assisted Technology AFLS - Adaptive Front Lighting System System that automatically turns the headlight beam to the right or left dependent on the vehicle’s direction.

  • Paving the Way to Self-Driving Cars with ADAS (Rev. A)
    Paving the way to self-driving cars with advanced driver assistance systems Hannes Estl Worldwide Systems Marketing for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Texas Instruments Recent publicity has attracted the public eye to the development of automated vehicles, especially Google’s experimental cars that have logged thousands of self-driven miles with minimal help from human drivers. These events are truly impressive, and in the long term will help revolutionize vehicle operation and our experience of driving. But the excitement about self-driving cars can make it easy to overlook numerous short-term developments by automotive manufacturers that are equally important in transforming the act of driving. Collectively known as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), these developments are designed to make cars safer, and their gradual introduction is already improving road safety. In addition, ADAS features represent an evolution in vehicle sensing, intelligence and control that will ultimately lead to self-driving cars. ADAS technologies exist at different levels of active Volume production of automobiles with fully assistance and are being introduced in overlapping autonomous control is probably a decade away stages. Driver information systems, such as simple at this time, although as today’s experiments rear-view cameras, surround-view displays, and demonstrate, the essential technology for self- blind spot and lane departure warnings, provide driving cars already exists. However, advanced information but leave the driver in full control at all electronic systems take up much of the space in times. Partially autonomous systems, such as lane- automated test vehicles and are far more expensive keep assistance and active cruise control, enable than the cars themselves.
