Since the news of Q* broke, many researchers outside OpenAI have speculated about whether the name is a reference to other existing techniques within the field, such as Q-learning, a technique for ...

Rice computer scientists have developed algorithms that account for quantum noise that is not just random, but malicious ...

A* is also fairly old- it’s a heuristic-based path finding algorithm. In typical engineering fashion, they may have found an intersection of the 2 and named it Q*. This is total speculation, but if ...

Systems controlled by next-generation computing algorithms could give rise to better and more efficient machine learning products, a new study suggests.
