The purpose of the position is to conduct research on the foundations of universal induction and intelligent agents. The project is part of the Computer Sciences Lab, and the AI and SML groups at RSISE. The starting point is a recently developed universal theory of intelligent learning systems, based on an unexpected unification of universal induction and sequential decision theory. Getting the foundations right usually marks significant progress and maturing of a field. The theory provides a gold standard and guidance for researchers working on smart software. Goal is to explore the theory and its connection to more classical reinforcement learning approaches.
