Advanced Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning

After a review of the course materials I'm not sure what makes this course 'Advanced'.

Agreed. After looking at the a few videos it seems to go a bit beyond the basics, I don't think that means it's "advanced."

This got me thinking: what would an "advanced" Deep Learning/RL course even look like? The field is so immature it's hard to identify topics that are advanced. Maybe an advanced course could be a chronological paper survey? Certainly not a class that spends a lecture on optimization of a deep network.

Here is the course website http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/current_students/syllabus/undergrad/...

Are the slides or assignments available?

"Today we are excited to release video recordings of lectures from "Advanced Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning", a course on deep RL taught at @UCL earlier this year by DeepMind researchers:

Enjoy!"

Is the RL part very different from David Silver's UCL lectures?

I've watched the David S. course, not this so I don't know, but: the last RL lecture in this course is by David S.

It’d serve as an intro to his series.
