INNOVATIVE Pioneers
P5. Volodymyr Mnih, 34
DeepMind
The first system to play
Atari games as well as a human can.
Volodymyr Mnih, a
research scientist at DeepMind, has created the first system to demonstrate human-level
performance in almost 50 Atari 2600 video games, including Pong and Space
Invaders. Minh’s system was the first to combine the playful characteristics of
reinforcement learning with the rigorous approach of deep learning, which
mirrors the way the human brain processes information—learning by
example. His software learned to play the games much as a human would, through
playful trial and error, while using the game score as a measurement by which
to hone and perfect its technique for each game.
