Geoffrey J. Gordon

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Geoffrey J. Gordon is a computer scientist and professor at the Machine Learning Department of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and has been Research Director of the Microsoft Montréal lab since 2018. In the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence , he researches reinforcement learning , statistical and relational learning, and anytime variants of the A. * Search algorithm. An anytime algorithm can return a reasonably good solution even if it is interrupted, as it produces a result quickly and improves it later. In mid-2018, Microsoft Lab published TextWorld under an open source license. It generates games that can train an artificial neural network . Natural language and reinforcement learning don't really go together yet and the publication is intended to stimulate research in the area.

Gordon received a BA in computer science from Cornell University in 1991 and a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University in 1999.
