As a starter, they provide: https://github.com/google/dopamine Which is more or less a test driver that loads little tensorFlow scripts... Because this is my computer we are talking about, TensorFlow didn't install right, a few of its dependencies wouldn't build. -- cloud computing is available from GooG and probably amazon too, don't wanna go that route, easy debugging and all... My machine here has 32gb ram, a GTX980Ti, Gentoo Linux. AMD R7-1800x, Motherboard is a fairly entry level desktop model, only one GPU slot, micro-ATX, [want a threadripper. =| ] , will cost $2,000 to upgrade this machine, and more if I want to upgrade the video card too. Ok, lets look at the problem. It is NOT an AGI complete problem, it does not contain unbounded emergant concepts, nor does it require communication or cooperation. However, as the whitepaper explains, it provides the next challenge after basic 8-bit (more like 4-bit) Atari games. It provides deeper perceptual challenges, an agent will have to be able to separete the basic play-relevant form of the room from any of a number of visual styles, as well as realistic lighting situations such as shadows, near darkness, light rays from windows, etc. It must also deal with moving objects in the environment and a variety of specific puzzles, such as moving a block to a specific spot on the floor while avoiding another spot. The paper reported that existing techniques got stopped by problems requiring the ki. There are 3 representations of the ki, the 3D representation in world, the screen icon version representing a ki in inventory, and the visually distinct version used to label the doors which require it. I don't think conventional DL techniques are going to cut it. There needs to be a more sophisticated system to handle the de-coupling of the play-relevant form of the room from it's visual styling. In number theory terms, it needs a way to factor the input like a number, discard the irrelevant factors, and base decision making on what remains. I'm a bit too video game adicted to get super serious about this but I've been putting together some notes while I work to install and understand the software I need.
