This episode (part 2) of Zero to Paper covers the idea we will be working on: Text to Goal, or TTG for short. TTG aims to translate natural language into a reward function for a Reinforcement Learning problem. This research project aims to leverage recent advancements in NLP and Computer Vision to make reward functions easier and more natural to craft.
I also briefly touch on how I come up with ideas an what is important to me. I hope this will be helpful to anyone wonder how to do ML research!

Lets talk about natural language in Reinforcement Learning. Its also a form of language grounding because models are trained to learn connections between language and a non-text environments. I think language-conditioned RL is the way forward for making more efficient, general AI training. Let me know what you think of this combination between NLP and RL in the comments!
