ENG-PSR-PROJ-2026-23 -Specialist support technician in Reinforcement Learning

Job description

Description Research Assistant position in the area of reinforcement learning. In particular, the selected candidate will perform research activities related to the PEARL project (Provably Efficient and Adaptive Reinforcement Learning). The PEARL project aims to develop novel algorithms based on bisimulation for measuring the distance between two reinforcement learning problems. These algorithms can be used to construct compact representations of a problem by minimizing the bisimulation distance to an unknown, high-dimensional problem. This smaller problem can then be solved and the solution projected back to the large problem. Principal camp de recerca / Main research field: Intel.ligència Artificial / Artificial Intelligence Tasks to be performed: Study of the state of the art in the field of reinforcement learning in general and bisimulation in particular. Concretely, study how bisimulation can be used to measure the distance between two reinforcement learning problems. Development, implementation and evaluation of novel algorithms based on bisimulation for measuring the distance between reinforcement learning problems. Study how these algorithms can be used to construct compact...
