The reinforcement learning competition has not been organized for a while, but will take place again this year after a long hiatus. The primary aim of the competition is to test both general and domain-specific reinforcement learning algorithms, using an unbiased and transparent methodology. The domains used in the competition will form a set of benchmarks, and the results of the submitted algorithms will form a body of benchmark results, which researchers can then use as a basis of comparison in future work. The ICML reinforcement learning competition workshop will bring together researchers, who participated in the competition, in order to present and discuss their results. We will evaluate what works, and also under what conditions established methods may not work so well. In this way we hope to broaden our insight into state-of-the-art RL algorithms, and important properties of RL problems. A secondary aim is to discuss methodological approaches for comparing reinforcement learning algorithms. This remains an issue in reinforcement learning in general. Another important aim is to ensure the continuing existence of the competition, and the prevention of further hiatuses. Our aim is to ensure that the competition will organized annually again, from this year onward. To this extend we will try to build up an organization of interested researchers. *Organizers* - Christos Dimitrakakis <http://liawww.epfl.ch/People/dimitrak/> - Nikolaos Tziortziotis <http://www.cs.uoi.gr/~ntziorzi> - Guangliang Li <http://staff.science.uva.nl/~gli/> - Diederik Roijers <http://staff.science.uva.nl/~roijers/> *Program Committee* - Mauricio Araya - Olivier Buffet - Marc Deisenroth - Christos Dimitrakakis - Guangliang Li - Diederik Roijers - Ronald Ortner - Vincent Thomas - Nikolaos Tziortziotis - Nikos Vlassis -- ---------------------- Guangliang Li PhD student, Intelligent Autonomous Systems Group Informatics Institute, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Science Park 904, 1098 XH Amsterdam Room C3.258A Email: g...@uva.nl http://staff.science.uva.nl/~gli/
