Michael L. LittmanMichael L. LittmanWe hope to participate in the Reinforcement Learning Competition, currently underway.
I'm serving on the organizing committee for ICML/UAI/COLT 2008 workshops.
I'm enjoying creating various kinds of videos. You are welcome to check out my portfolio on my YouTube channel.
I recently declared myself an outspoken proponent of progressive values. Visit speakingofvalues.org and tell me what you value.
This year, I'm serving as adult ed chair and web monster of the Congregation for Humanistic Judaism of Morris County. I've also been secretary and vice president.
My students and I created The Rutgers Laboratory for Real-Life Reinforcement Learning (or RL3). Check us out!
I've finally made some progress organizing my publications. I'm still unhappy with the conversion from bib to html.
Spring 2007, I again taught a CS intro course for non-majors, Great Insights in Computer Science. Enrique Munoz de Cote and I also ran a seminar on the topic of Multiagent reinforcement learning.
Fall 2006, I taught Great Insights in Computer Science and helped Alex Strehl organize a Light seminar on reinforcement-learning theory.
I created a new course for non-majors, offered Spring 2006, Great Insights in Computer Science.
Fall 2005, I reprised my course on Learning and Sequential Decision Making.
Spring 2005, I taught Discrete Math (undergrad CS205) and co-organized the Social Reinforcement Learning light seminar with Matthew Stone.
Fall 2004, I taught Discrete Math (undergrad CS205) and Machine Learning (graduate CS536).
Spring 2004, I taught a course on Learning and Sequential Decision Making.
Fall 2003, I taught Machine Learning and ran a Learned Representations in AI Light Seminar.
Spring 2003, I ran a Learning Robots Reading Group.
Fall 2001, I taught Introduction to Artificial Intelligence at Princeton.
I served as local arrangements chair of the 7th International Conference on Epigenetic Robotics, held here at Rutgers.
I served as guest editor, with Amy Greenwald, of the Machine Learning Journal Special Issue on Learning and Computational Game Theory. The issue is now available.
I was on the program committee for the first AI Video Competition. I won the first "Shakey" for Short Video for Aibo Ingenuity.
My list of Communication Technology Firsts.
I ran The First RL Benchmarking Event as part of a NIPS workshop.
I co-organized the Reinforcement Learning Benchmarks and Bake-offs Workshop at NIPS 2004.
I stay in touch with Charles Isbell and the Threads project he helped create that will transform computer-science education.
I co-organized the Probabilistic Track of the 2004 International Planning Competition (with Haakan Younes) and co-organized a AAAI 2004 Fall Symposium on Real-Life Reinforcement Learning (with Satinder Singh).
I prefer some names more than others.
There are editorial comments I make very frequently.
My explanation of the Monty Hall Problem (Jan. 2006).
With my CS205 class, 2/8/2005, we thought we found a bug in the US Constitution!
Spring 2004, I became a member of the Rutgers Cognitive Science Center.
I gave two game-theory and learning tutorials summer of 2003, Multiagent Learning: A Game Theoretic Perspective at IJCAI-03 (with Michael Bowling), and Learning Topics in Game -Theoretic Decision Making at COLT-03. I was co-organizer of the Multi-Agent Learning: Theory and Practice workshop at NIPS 2002 (with Gerry Tesauro) and the Personalized Agents 2002 Fall Symposium at AAAI (with Charles Isbell).
I'm a founding member of the MetroBots RoboCup soccer team, which competed in the First American Open and RoboCup in 2003. I have looked into methods for dimension reduction for text applications as part of a NASA-funded research project in 2002.
Michael L. Littman is a big fan of google but not googlism. Some real-life googlewhacks. I've started collecting slogans to help me understand the world around me. I can't bear to delete the links to stuff I started creating at Duke.
