About Jonathan Balloch
I am a PhD applied scientist and engineer focused on developing the next generation of learning robots and AI agents. I believe that the fundamental challenge in all data-driven AI design comes down to bridging the gap between the agent\'s data needs and the biases naturally present in the data. The best way to handle bias in data is to attempt to model and be transparent about that bias so as to set expectations appropriately. This is fundamental to the way I approach my solutions in continual machine learning, reinforcement learning, and computer vision. In addition to robotics and AI, have educational and professional experience in physics, math, and computer science, which enables me to contribute theoretical and practical insight to technical solutions. I function well as both and individual and as a team player, but I firmly believe that most impactful work must be done by a group of individuals and I am proud of my ability to discuss challenging topics at both the low, technical level and the high, business-impact level. My areas of interest and experience are- Policy learning by reinforcement and imitation - Continual and lifelong machine learning - Computer vision, especially in subareas highly applicable to robotics like semantic segmentation - Natural language processing and reasoning with language models - Human-robot interaction non progredi est regredi
