Antoine Moulin

Hi, I am a PhD student in reinforcement learning (RL). My aim is to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges posed by large-scale RL by identifying and exploiting structural properties of Markov decision processes (MDPs) that make large-scale learning statistically and computationally feasible.

More specifically, I am interested in efficiently solving the exploration-exploitation tradeoff in infinite-horizon MDPs under (linear) function approximation. My research interests also include: online learning, offline reinforcement learning, representation learning, and more broadly learning theory.

I am co-advised by Gergely Neu and Arthur Gretton. You can reach out to me at: firstname [dot] lastname [at] upf [dot] edu.
