Dear All,
Adage (Adaptive Agents Lab): The Adage Lab is a diverse, multicultural, and welcoming team of talented and hard-working individuals committed to advancing the foundation of AI. As an example of our diversity, the group of ~25 students who have ever been a member of my team come from 13 different countries of origin. For more information about my teaching philosophy and view on EDI, see:
Top-Tier Research Environment: Be part of Mila, a global leader in AI research, with over 150 faculty members and 1,100 student-researchers. Mila offers a bustling environment with weekly talks, reading groups, and events.
Montreal: Study in one of the Canada’s most vibrant cities, known for its multicultural community, year-round festivals, and dynamic art scene. Montreal also offers affordable living and a welcoming environment for students.
I look forward to welcoming motivated students passionate about advancing the foundation of reinforcement learning!
Best Regards,
