I think partial observability in decision making is a fascinating topic. It leads to a ton of roadblocks that “traditional” planning/learning agents are just not equipped to handle. #MLSky

Monte Carlo Planning in Large Partially Observable MDPs
Decision-making (either human or artificial) typically involves taking actions given observations. For instance, (i) chess players make their move on observing the state of the board or (ii) driving a...

I have a new blog on machine learning and robotics! It’s an academia focused archive of my lecture notes, paper summaries, and misc. write ups.
I’ve recently written posts on imitation learning and the policy gradient theorem (RL). #MLSky #Robotics
