Program Chair

Miroslav Dudik

Microsoft Research
Miroslav Dudík is a Senior Principal Researcher in machine learning at Microsoft Research, NYC. His research focuses on combining theoretical and applied aspects of machine learning, statistics, convex optimization, and algorithms. Most recently he has worked on contextual bandits, reinforcement learning, and algorithmic fairness. He received his PhD from Princeton in 2007. He is a co-creator of the Fairlearn toolkit for assessing and improving the fairness of machine learning models and of the Maxent package for modeling species distributions, which is used by biologists around the world to design national parks, model the impacts of climate change, and discover new species.

Tutorial Chair

Adam White

University of Alberta, Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii), RL Core
Keywords: Continual Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Robotics, Knowledge Representation and Intrinsic Motivation Adam's research is focused on understanding the fundamental principles of learning in both simulated worlds and industrial control applications. His research program explores how the problem of intelligence can be modeled as a reinforcement learning agent interacting with some unknown environment, learning from a scalar reward signal rather than explicit feedback. Adam's group is deeply passionate about good empirical practices and new methodologies to help determine if our algorithms are ready for deployment in the real world. Adam has pioneered applications of reinforcement learning to real drinking and wastewater treatment plants and is the co-founder of RL Core Technologies, a startup applied AI and machine learning across industrial control.
