Information
I am a PhD student at the Artificial Intelligence group, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. I started late 2015, and my supervisors are Joost Broekens and Catholijn Jonker.
I am interested in long-term intelligent decision-making, and machine learning and AI in general. My research focuses on the intersection between reinforcement learning and tree search, especially to improve the exploration/exploitation trade-off. Earlier work focused on the same challenge from a Bayesian deep learning perspective.
Keywords: Reinforcement learning, machine learning, Monte Carlo Tree Search, (Bayesian) deep learning, variational inference, predictive uncertainty.
