- Abstract: Disaster response agencies have been shifting from a paradigm of climate
forecasting towards one of anticipatory action: assessing not just what the
climate will be, but how it will impact specific populations, thereby enabling
proactive response and resource allocation. Machine learning models are
becoming exceptionally powerful at climate forecasting, but methodological gaps
remain in terms of facilitating anticipatory action. Here we provide an
overview of anticipatory action, review relevant applications of machine
learning, identify common challenges, and highlight areas where machine
learning can uniquely contribute to advancing disaster response for populations
most vulnerable to climate change.

Discovery in a Single Stream of Experience [63.75363908696257]
computational reinforcement learning seeks to construct an agent's perception of the world through predictions of future sensations.
An open challenge in this line of work is determining from the infinitely many predictions that the agent could possibly make which predictions might best support decision-making.
We introduce a meta-gradient descent process by which an agent learns what predictions to make, 2) the estimates for its chosen predictions, and 3) how to use those estimates to generate policies that maximize future reward.
