Let's say you're reading this research paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.05407.pdf

I want to know: "In Rob Fergus' paper intrinsic motivation and self-play, how is it that the reward for agent A can be based on the time taken for agent B's task, when agent A and B are run sequentially, and agent B runs after agent A?"

Can Google answer this? No. Is NLP smart enough to answer this? Probably not. But the question itself is hard to write in one sentence. Complex queries are best structured as conversations, with clarifying back and forth, Socratic method style, like if you're asking a professor a question about hard science.




Funny enough, I once was on a team that was working on this exact technology. Sadly the company was dysfunctional beyond redemption.
