两个新的研究人员金宝博娱乐加入Miri
MIRI’s research team is growing! I’m happy to announce that we’ve hired two new research fellows to contribute to our work onai对齐:Sam Eisenstat和Marcello Herreshoff,都来自谷歌。
以致艾圣斯特山姆studied pure mathematics at the University of Waterloo, where he carried out research in mathematical logic. His previous work was on the automatic construction of deep learning models at Google.
SAM的研究金宝博娱乐重点是与推理和机构基础有关的问题,他特别有兴趣探索当前逻辑不确定性和贝叶斯推理的基础之间的类比。他还完成了决策理论和反事实的工作。他与Miri一起工作包括“Asymptotic Decision Theory那” “限制可计算,自我反光分布那” and “对验证长度和逻辑反射性的非正式猜想的反例。”
Marcello Herreshoffstudied at Stanford, receiving a B.S. in Mathematics with Honors and getting two honorable mentions in the Putnam Competition, the world’s most highly regarded university-level math competition. Marcello then spent five years as a software engineer at Google, gaining a background in machine learning.
Marcello is one of MIRI’s earliest research collaborators, and attended our very firstresearch workshopalongside Eliezer Yudkowsky, Paul Christiano, and Mihály Bárász. Marcello has worked with us in the past to help produce results such as “Program Equilibrium in the Prisoner’s Dilemma via Löb’s Theorem那” “概率逻辑中的真理绝定那” and “用于自我修改的剪辑代理。” His research interests include logical uncertainty and the design of reflective agents.
Sam and Marcello will be starting with us in the first two weeks of April. This marks the beginning of our first wave of new research fellowships since 2015, though we more recently added Ryan Carey to the team on an assistant research fellowship (in mid-2016).
We have additional plans to expand our research team in the coming months, and will soon be hiring for a more diverse set of technical roles at MIRI — details forthcoming!
