The Alberta Plan is a new paper by the team from DeepMind Alberta that details their plans and core focuses over the next 5-10 years. While it puts a focus on Reinforcement Learning (RL) and touches on many areas that are already being explored, it takes a different perspective and focuses on a slightly different problem, which shifts how some of the mentioned problems may be tackled. The plan primarily focuses on continual learning in a vastly complex world where the agent needs to learn, and learn to learn (meta-learning) to achieve it's goals.

The title says it all, Im figuring this out as I go! Currently Im using GPT-3.5 turbo to do all this testing.
The current plan is to create a system that:
1. Can generate research ideas in a target area
2. Use the idea to make a list of proof of concept experiments
3. Write the code for the experiments
4. Debug")
