Martin Klissarov

I am a first year PhD student supervised by Prof. Doina Precup at McGill University and Mila.

I am particularly interested devising sound and effective reinforcement learning algorithms. I have worked mostly on temporal abstractions, the exploitation/exploration dilemma and off-policy/batch RL methods.
