I'm in the Deep Learning Technology Center, Microsoft Research. I have a wide interest in Machine Learning spanning from modeling, optimization algorithms, to ML software systems.
My current main research pursuit is deep reinforcement learning with focus on
- off-policy learning and sample efficient methods, safe exploration, reverse reinforcement learning
- and real-world optimal control applications, including drones control, data center energy optimization, indoor farming optimization, etc.
- Convolutional neural nets and computer vision (object detection, image segmentation, image classification, etc.)
- Image captioning and multimodal modeling
- Optimization algorithms (SDCA, etc.)
- DL/ML platform
