My main research interest is in the old goal of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which is building autonomous system that can learn to be broadly competent in dynamic and uncertain environments. The field of reinforcement learning (RL) has focused on this goal, which is different from supervised learning in that correct input/output pairs are never presented. Further, there is a focus on online performance, which involves finding a balance between exploration (exploring action for increasing the knowledge about the environment) and exploitation (of current knowledge).
