Offer Description The research programme aims to develop advanced trustworthy reinforcement learning methods for real-world systems, with particular emphasis on planning and tree-search algorithms, including Monte Carlo Tree Search approaches. The activities will involve the design of tree-based models, distance functions and representations for time series, as well as asynchronous, parallel and efficient pipelines for processing large volumes of data and simulations.
High-performance software solutions will be investigated and integrated into reproducible and scalable machine learning workflows to support robust decision-making in dynamic and complex environments. The research will include experimental validation, benchmarking, and the analysis of efficiency, generalization and reliability across different real-world application domains, including robotic and energy systems.
