Hey! In this issue: learning to transform video into a cartoon, a game for learning reinforcement learning, understanding the effectiveness of ensembles of deep models, a tutorial on deep generative models, a paper explained, and more.

This week's issue is sponsored by the DATAcated Academy.

• Learning to transform video into a cartoon using white-box cartoon representations (video, code, paper)

• Open reinforcement learning benchmark that includes 34+ games and provides an unprecedented level of transparency, openness, and reproducibility (video, website, code)

• A game for learning the reinforcement learning (available on Steam)

• PyTorch v1.6 released

• Big Bird: Transformers for longer sequences (paper, video explanation)

• Understanding the effectiveness of ensembles in deep learning

• Writing better code with PyTorch and einops

• Mathematics for machine learning - multivariate calculus (video)

• Tutorial on deep generative models (video, slides)
