Curiosity Intrinsic Motivation Reinforcement Learning
About
My research explores the translation of psychological constructs between psychology and artificial intelligence (AI), focused on forms of intrinsic motivation, particularly curiosity. I draw on disciplines that study human motivation, learning, and behaviour (specifically psychology, neuroscience, behavioural economics, marketing, and philosophy), to offer new theoretical perspectives on these constructs while building foundations to benefit AI algorithms.
