<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 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>
<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>
