OpenAI released Procgen Benchmark, a suite of 16 procedurally-generated environments designed to measure how quickly reinforcement learning agents learn generalizable skills. The benchmark targets a core challenge in RL: distinguishing memorization of specific environments from genuine skill generalization. Its procedural generation ensures agents cannot overfit to fixed level layouts.
OpenAI announced co-organization of two NeurIPS 2020 competitions with AIcrowd, Carnegie Mellon University, and DeepMind, centered on the Procgen Benchmark and MineRL environments. These competitions are aimed at advancing research in procedurally generated environments and sequential decision-making in Minecraft-like settings. The announcement is from June 2020 and represents a collaborative academic competition initiative.
