Biography

Ondrej Biza is a doctoral student at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University. He is advised by Robert Platt and conducts research in machine learning and robotic manipulation. Biza is specifically interested in reinforcement learning–a framework for sequential decision making. He studies model-based learning and abstraction with the goal of making agents reason about high-level concepts and skills. He enjoys that his research draws on various subareas of machine learning as well as other fields–everything from optimal control to symbolic AI. Going forward, Biza would like to develop methods that can be applied to many different problems in robotics and other areas, instead of developing specialized algorithms. Beyond academic papers, he aims to share most of my work as open-source software.
