    Question

    There's a version of this question specifically referring to obtaining a diamond through mining (as opposed to finding it in e.g. a shipwreck or treasure chest)

    NeurIPS 2019 MineRL Challenge

    Abstract

    Although deep reinforcement learning has led to breakthroughs in many difficult domains, these successes have required an ever-increasing number of samples. Many of these systems cannot be applied to real-world problems, where environment samples are expensive. Resolution of these limitations requires new, sample-efficient methods.

    This competition is designed to foster the development of algorithms which can drastically reduce the number of samples needed to solve complex, hierarchical, and sparse environments using human demonstrations. Participants compete to develop systems which solve a hard task in Minecraft, obtaining a diamond, with a limited number of samples.

    Resolution

    This question will resolve positively if a Minecraft RL agent that competes in the competition, successfully secures a diamond before the end of the competition.

    Note that Training in the competition is limited to a single instance with a wall clock time of 4 days (96 hours).

    Note: The Minecraft RL agent must be one that is deemed appropriate to compete by the judges (i.e. not a hardcoded solution)

    This question is not yet open for predictions.

    Current points depend on your prediction, the community's prediction, and the result. Your total earned points are averaged over the lifetime of the question, so predict early to get as many points as possible! See the FAQ.

    Metaculus help: Predicting

    Predictions are the heart of Metaculus. Predicting is how you contribute to the wisdom of the crowd, and how you earn points and build up your personal Metaculus track record.

    The basics of predicting are very simple: move the slider to best match the likelihood of the outcome, and click predict. You can predict as often as you want, and you're encouraged to change your mind when new information becomes available.

    The displayed score is split into current points and total points. Current points show how much your prediction is worth now, whereas total points show the combined worth of all of your predictions over the lifetime of the question. The scoring details are available on the FAQ.

    Thanks for predicting!
