Are there any active reinforcement learning competitions?

Question

I like doing part-time research in reinforcement learning. In recent years (up to 2009) there was a reinforcement learning competition held at rl-competition.org with some very interesting problems, but this seems to have been discontinued. I'd love to improve my skills and knowledge and measure it against other enthusiasts in the field - are there still any such competitions around?

Answer 1

In 2018, Open AI hosted a reinforcement learning competition called Retro Contest in the spring. The main goal was to come up with a meta-learning algorithm that can transfer knowledge from a set of training levels of “Sonic The Hedgehog” to a set of previously unseen test levels made specifically by OpenAI.

There are 17 active competitions that are based on reinforcement learning. You can refer to the following link for a better understanding of all the competitions.https://www.kaggle.com/competitions
