Fields of Research |
|
Numerical Machine Learning, Humanoid Robotics, and Intelligent Environment
My research focuses on numerical approaches to machine learning, and uses humanoid robotics and intelligent environments as domains in which to explore the behavior of learning algorithms. Past work was on model-based learning, task ?level learning, and memory-based learning. Current work includes programming through demonstration, reinforcement learning, and learning strategies.
