Daniel K Slater - Building a Pong playing AI in just 1 hour (plus 4 days training...)

PyData London 2016 We will build an AI that can master the game of Pong in just 1 hour. In the course of this we will talk through some of the tools involved. Q-learning , Deep learning and Convolutional nets and how they fit into Pong. Most of the heavy lifting will be done using Google’s recently released Tensorflow libraries. We will start by setting up a Python an agent in Pong that moves completely randomly. I will then talk over what Q-learning is and how it works and a bit about Convolutional nets
