Zoom link: https://cmu.zoom.us/j/4937138807   Title: Off-Policy Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Driving   Abstract: Modern autonomous driving systems continue to face the challenges of handling complex and variable multi-agent real-world scenarios. Some subsystems, such as perception, use deep learning-based approaches to leverage large amounts of data to generalize to novel scenes. Other subsystems, such as planning [...]
