Jeff Clune - Professor - Computer Science - University of British Columbia
Homepage for Jeff Clune, Professor of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia. I conduct research in deep learning, including deep reinforcement learning. I improve our understanding of deep neural networks, harness them in novel applications (such as helping biologists conserve and better understand wildlife), and advance deep reinforcement learning, especially improving its ability to intelligently explore. Mostly now former research and science interests include evolutionary aglorithms, evolutionary computation, genetic algorithms, generative encodings, indirect encodings, developmental encodings, artificial embryology, generative representations, developmental representations, indirect representations, HyperNEAT, NEAT, CPPNs, Compositional Pattern Producing Networks, Endless Forms, EndlessForms, EndlessForms.com, Interactive evolution, evolutionary design, evolving artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence, evolving artificial neural networks, evolving artificial neural networks, AI, altruism, evolvability.
