<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">I am pleased to
announce that the Department of Intelligent Systems at TU Delft,
The Netherlands, can offer a 3-year postdoc position, as part of
an ERC-funded research project, "INLFUENCE: Influence-based
decision-making in uncertain environments".<br>
<br>
Closing date: September 17.<br>
<br>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%"><b>Project
description:</b></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">INFLUENCE is
situated in the intersection of machine learning, reinforcement
learning and multiagent systems. The aim of the project is to
investigate how to scale up methods for automated decision
making for complex systems. <br>
<br>
In particular, we will focus on using machine learning
techniques to learn representations of 'influence' (e.g. how
certain parts of the system affect other parts), and using such
representations to scale up decision making. INFLUENCE will
focus on two problems domains:<br>
-coordinated control of traffic lights in a large city<br>
-autonomous warehousing with teams of robots<br>
(But also other domains can be considered).<br>
<br>
Currently I am recruiting for the following position: <br>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%"><b>Postdoc in
Influence-based Abstraction, Learning and Coordinatio</b><b>n</b>
<b>(3 years)</b><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%"> This position will
focus on algorithmic and theoretical aspects of decision making
under uncertainty and multiagent learning and coordination. The
candidate should have an excellent track record in the general
area of machine learning, reinforcement learning or planning
under uncertainty, as evidenced by publications at top-tier
venues, and should have demonstrable experience in theoretical
analysis of algorithms (e.g., proving approximation or sample
bounds).<br>
