Abstract

Reinforcement Learning (RL) Reading Club is a seminar series held by Aalto University. The reading club aims to gather people from different fields of science with interest in reinforcement learning.
Seminars are held bi-weekly on Fridays at 11 am to 12 pm. Due to the pandemic situation, all seminars will be organised remotely via Zoom until further notice. Further information will be provided via the club’s mailing list.
