Recent years have seen many significant advances in artificial intelligence (AI) due to deep reinforcement learning (DRL), including DQN, AlphaGo, AlphaZero, AlphaStar, Muzero, etc. It was gratifying to see a number of recent advancements toward advanced artificial intelligence (AI), not only in games and algorithms but also in many real-world applications. This talk will highlight recent developments in DRL, particularly in the past two years, in the hopes of encouraging comparable applications or problem solvers. A few remarks are also summed up for potential areas of future research and application.
