Seems like a stretch to call this “transfer learning”. Maybe training on Sonic and testing on Mario. Would be cool to see some kind of adversarial competition.

Would be cool to see some kind of adversarial competition. You train to, say, beat a game level but you test to beat someone else’s submission. (Short on the specifics, I know.)
- tree_of_item 9y agoI think some of the "transfer" part comes from the fact that there are actually three different games involved (Sonic 1, 2 and 3).
- 220V_USKettle 9y agoYeah, any side scroller...so dying is bad, but getting hit and shrinking or losing all your rings is not as bad, killing enemies is good, and collecting a power-up is good, but only when it matters. Anything else? Like BDD for AI.
- vhold 9y agoTransfer learning is what makes this contest currently unique. Usually in these machine learning contests, you hand off your model to the contest runner, and they just run it and evaluate its performance. It has to be already good at the task. In this contest, you're not just submitting a trained model, you're submitted a docker environment capable of performing training, which they will run with their secret levels, with specified constraints. So you want to make a highly trained model whose capabilities can be transferred to secret levels.
