2009-2015

I was interested in how we evaluate Reinforcement Learning algorithms and challenges using pre-collected/batch data. You can follow some of my work below. I also keep track of a lot of work that is concerned with "Data Science". So you will notice that some of my blog posts are data analysis hacks that I sometimes do during my free time.
