About this listen

Tom interviews Rich Sutton, Research Scientist at Keen Technologies, Professor of Computing Science at the University of Alberta and co-winner of the 2024 ACM Turing Award for his foundational research on reinforcement learning.

Rich discusses why the common framing of machine learning as 'supervised learning' is insufficient, and how reinforcement learning reframes the problem. He discusses how reinforcement learning has developed as a subfield of machine learning, the influence of Harry Kopf on his early thinking, his long-time collaboration with Andy Barto, his views about today's state of the art, and more.
