In neuroscience and psychology, reinforcement learning algorithms are used to explain human brain activity and behavior while in artificial intelligence, they are used to learn to play complex games (amongst other applications). This workshop brings together researchers from both neuroscience and AI, since notions of curiosity and surprise have been used in both domains to address learning in volatile environments and in tasks where reward is sparse and of unknown value.
