PhD Research Fellow in Causal Decision Making
3 months ago
Causality is a fast-developing area of machine learning, holding the promise to improve artificial reasoning and intelligence. Causal models can provide reliable formal tools to agents and policy-makers to evaluate alternative courses of action and design effective polices.
This project is interested in considering how causal models can be learned and exploited in the context of decision-making. In particular, it will consider the scenario in which one or more learning agents have the possibility of relying on multiple causal models describing their environment. Research will span the space of causality, causal abstraction, causal representation learning and reinforcement learning; the PhD project itself can follow multiple directions, ranging from more theoretical studies on how these models may be related and what guarantees they could provide, to more methodological research on the design of novel algorithms aimed at improving decision-making.
