Implementing Online Reinforcement Learning with Clustering Neural Networks
An agent employing reinforcement learning takes inputs (state variables) from an environment and performs actions that affect the environment in order to achieve some objective. Rewards (positive or negative) guide the agent toward improved future actions. This paper builds on prior clustering neural network research by constructing an agent with biologically plausible neo-Hebbian three-factor synaptic learning rules, with a reward signal as the third factor (in addition to pre- and post-synapt…

I have somehow ended up in a job where the (new) team I'm on has dropped scrum and sprints in favour of kanban. Good grief, I may actually enjoy the upcoming months of work!

AND someone just suggested not paying an external vendor for a simple service but instead implementing it in-house. I feel like I've won a lottery.

(obviously they're still doing standups because heaven knows you can't trust your developers without a daily inspection by micro-management.)
