- The success of deep neural networks in modeling complicated functions has recently been applied by the reinforcement learning community, resulting in algorithms that are able to learn in environments previously thought to be much too large. Successful applications span domains from robotics to health care. However, the success is not well understood from a theoretical perspective. What are the modeling choices necessary for good performance, and how does the flexibility of deep neural nets help learning? This workshop will connect practitioners to theoreticians with the goal of understanding the most impactful modeling decisions and the properties of deep neural networks that make them so successful. Specifically, we will study the ability of deep neural nets to approximate in the context of reinforcement learning.

This program aims to reunite researchers across disciplines that have played a role in developing the theory of reinforcement learning. It will review past developments and identify promising directions of research, with an emphasis on addressing existing open problems, ranging from the design of efficient, scalable algorithms for exploration to how to control learning and planning. It also aims to deepen the understanding of model-free vs. model-based learning and control, and the design of efficient methods to exploit structure and adapt to easier environments.
The program focused on the following four themes:
- Optimization: How and why can deep models be fit to observed (training) data?
- Generalization: Why do these trained models work well on similar but unobserved (test) data?
- Robustness: How can we analyze and improve the performance of these models when applied outside their intended conditions?
- Generative methods: How can deep learning be used to model probability distributions?

The SHEILA project team ran a workshop on “Developing an evidence-based institutional learning analytics policy” at the 13th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning on 3 September at the University of Leeds.
ABC is an effective and engaging hands-on workshop that has now been trialled with great success over a range of programmes. In just 90 minutes using a game format teams are able to work together to create a visual ‘storyboard’ outlining the type and sequence of learning activities (both online and offline) required to meet the module’s learning outcomes. ABC is particularly useful for new programmes or those changing to an online or more blended format.
