Current interests
My overall goal is to develop systems capable of scientific knowledge discovery. To this end, my current interests revolve around:
- Machine reasoning: induction, deduction, causation, decomposition, and generalization.
- Reinforcement learning: active RL settings, goal-directed exploration strategies, implicit RL (i.e., meta-learning approaches to navigating an RL environment), etc.
- Knowledge representations that enable reasoning, particularly using formal languages, hierarchical, and compositional representations.
