Google: A Generalist Agent in machine learning

Google also enters the competition for multimodal machine learning! I have not yet had the time to read this latest paper. Earlier today, I blogged here about Microsoft's entry into this competition.

From the abstract:
"Inspired by progress in large-scale language modeling, we apply a similar approach towards building a single generalist agent beyond the realm of text outputs. The agent, which we refer to as Gato, works as a multi-modal, multi-task, multi-embodiment generalist policy. The same network with the same weights
can play Atari, caption images, chat, stack blocks with a real robot arm and much more, deciding based on its context whether to output text, joint torques, button presses, or other tokens. In this report we describe the model and the data, and document the current capabilities of Gato."
