Research
I'm interested in building visual perception systems that make active agents robust to
changes and
help them generalize to new environments.
I believe the interplay between perceiving the environment and interacting with it is the next step
towards creating intelligent, multi-purpose agents.
Additional interests include improving exploration in reinforcement learning through
intrinsic rewards like, e.g., curiosity.
