ABOUT TOM SCHAUL
My research interests include (modular) reinforcement learning, stochastic (black-box) optimization and (deep and/or recurrent) neural networks. I use these techniques in application domains ranging from computer vision and neural decoding to games and robotics.I grew up in Luxembourg and studied computer science in Switzerland (with exchanges at Waterloo and Columbia), where I obtained an MSc from the EPFL in 2005. I hold a PhD from TU Munich (2011), which I did under the supervision of Jürgen Schmidhuber at the Swiss AI Lab IDSIA. I did a two-year postdoc with Yann LeCun at the Courant Institute of NYU, before continuing my research at DeepMind Technologies in London.Specialties: Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, modular/hierarchical reinforcement learning, black-box optimization, meta-learning,(recurrent) neural networks, artificial curiosity.
