Were excited to announce a medical research partnership with the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), one of the worlds leading healthcare organisations responsible for providing high-quality care to veterans and their families across the United Sta…

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DeepRL) has achieved remarkable success in a range of tasks, from continuous control problems in robotics to playing games like Go and Atari. The improvements seen in these domains have so far been limited to individual tas…

Suppose you are playing football. The ball arrives at your feet, and you decide to pass it to the unmarked striker. What seems like one simple action requires two different kinds of thought.First, you recognise that there is a football at your feet. Th…
