Natalia Diaz-Rodriguez: Continual Learning and Robotics: an overview

Natalia Díaz Rodríguez, PhD. is Computer Engineer by the University of Granada (UGR, Spain) and has a Double PhD from Abo Akademi (Finland) (together with UGR) on Artificial Intelligence and Semantic and Fuzzy Modelling for Human Behaviour Recognition in Smart Spaces. She has worked on R&D at CERN (Switzerland), Philips Research (Netherlands), done a postdoctoral stay at University of California Santa Cruz, and worked in the industry of Silicon Valley at Stitch Fix (San Francisco, CA) (a recommendation service for fashion delivery with humans in the -machine learning- loop). She has participated in a range of international projects and is Management Committee member of EU COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action AAPELE.EU (Algorithms, Architectures and Platforms for Enhanced Living Environments, www.aapele.eu). Currently she is postdoc at ENSTA ParisTech at the Robotics and Computer Vision group, and is working on Deep Reinforcement Learning for visual representation learning for the robotics DREAM project (www.robotsthatdream.eu).
