Khurram Javed - Real-time Reinforcement Learning using Dynamic Networks

Abstract: In this talk, I will share our progress on developing algorithms that allow agents to learn continually and in real-time on edge devices.

About the speaker: I am a PhD student at the RLAI lab at University of Alberta advised by Prof. Rich Sutton. I'm interested in building algorithms for real-time continual learning for achieving goals in big worlds. In the past, I did my M.Sc with Prof. Martha White on Meta-learning representations for Continual learning, worked at MILA with Prof. Yoshua Bengio on Causality and at TUKL-SEECS with Prof. Faisal Shafait on document analysis and continual learning. I also represented my home country at 55th International Mathematical Olympiad , and XXVI Asian Pacific Mathematical Olympiad, receiving an honorable-mention and a bronze medal respectively.
