This is just a little rant from me about how people try to use machine learning (ML) for absolutely everything. Sometimes its better to just not use ML and AI. It may be cool but it doesn't always make sense. Let me know your thoughts and whether you agree or disagree in the comments.

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!
