rl-playbook

Source for rlplaybook.com — a visual timeline of reinforcement learning breakthroughs, from DQN playing Atari (2013) to AlphaZero, Pluribus, OpenAI Five, and AlphaStar (2019). Each entry summarizes a landmark paper and links to the original publication. See the About page for background.

Built with Hugo and the hugo-theme-timeline theme, deployed to GitHub Pages via GitHub Actions.

Local development

Requires Hugo extended (the theme compiles SCSS). CI builds with Hugo 0.139.0.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/shehio/rl-playbook
cd rl-playbook

Adding a paper
