Observations

…Its scope covers observations, operations, products and services that support environmental protection, social and economic development and evidence-informed decisions. Scientific and technical sessions connect these applications with space policy, technology and innovation. The biennial meeting is organized by NEOSS and SANSA with national partners.

…Observations and numerical models are considered as complementary tools for weather prediction and climate projections.

…variable from experience consisting of observations and rewards. From this perspective, learning to learn is learning to infer. This viewpoint can be useful in solving problems in meta-RL, which I’ll demonstrate through two examples: (1) enabling off-policy meta-learning, and (2) performing efficient meta-RL from image observations. I’ll also discuss how this perspective leads to an algorithm for few-shot image segmentation.
