ABSTRACT

 The complexity of Active Visual Tracking

Autonomous learning is becoming a core topic in A.I. research. In this talk, I will first introduce a near-realist virtual environment for artificial agents to learn to fulfill tasks via exploration and interaction. I will also introduce a number of recent projects about training single/multi-agent autonomous systems in such environments to track target objects “autonomously”.
