Researchers from Interactive Computing unveil “Quixote” to teach AI positive behavior.

Visualization of the first binary black black hole coalescence discovered, GW150914, which was announced on February 11, 2016. The two black holes are in orbit around each other, getting closer together, losing energy to gravitational waves, seen here as colored contours.The two white spheres are the black holes, colored white for visibility. The image was taken from a binary/simulation that was created by Georgia Tech's team, including Matt Kinsey, Karan Jani and Michael Clark.
