Ph.D. study targets robust and generalizable sequential decision-making algorithms

A Ph.D. study by Zhi-Yong Wang focuses on developing more efficient, robust, and generalizable algorithms for sequential decision-making under uncertainty. The research specifically targets reinforcement learning and multi-armed bandits, aiming to address limitations in current methods that rely on idealized models and can fail in real-world scenarios with model misspecifications or adversarial perturbations. The work seeks to improve performance by considering instance-dependent factors and enhancing generalization to new environments. AI
