On the Expressivity of Markov Reward

Our main results prove that while reward can express many tasks, there exist instances of each task type that no Markov reward function can capture. We then provide a set of polynomial-time algorithms that construct a reward function which allows…

Silicon image sensor that computes

Researchers have developed the first in-sensor processor that could be integrated into commercial silicon imaging sensor chips — known as complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors — that are used in nearly all commercial devices that need capture visual information, including…

Human-centred mechanism design with Democratic AI

In our recent paper, published in Nature Human Behaviour, we provide a proof-of-concept demonstration that deep reinforcement learning (RL) can be used to find economic policies that people will vote for by majority in a simple game. The paper thus…

UVQ: Measuring YouTube’s Perceptual Video Quality

Posted by Yilin Wang, Staff Software Engineer, YouTube and Feng Yang, Senior Staff Software Engineer, Google Research Online video sharing platforms, like YouTube, need to understand perceptual video quality (i.e., a user’s subjective perception of video quality) in order to…
