What can you do with the OpenAI Gym toolkit?

The Gym toolkit provides a standardized way of defining the interface for environments developed for problems that can be solved using reinforcement learning. If you are familiar with or have heard of the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC), you may realize how much of an impact a standard benchmarking platform can have on accelerating research and development. For those of you who are not familiar with ILSVRC, here is a brief summary: it is a competition where the participating teams evaluate the supervised learning algorithms they have developed for the given dataset and compete to achieve higher accuracy with several visual recognition tasks. This common platform, coupled ...
