Research
I study machine learning and artificial intelligence. Developing a principled understanding of decision-making and explore-exploit tradeoffs is the next key step on the path to creating machine intelligence. The brain evolved to efficiently process information, and then use it to decide what to do: therefore, so should our algorithms.
