I’ve successfully defended my MSc thesis, titled Near-Optimal Clustering in Block Markov Decision Processes! Special thanks to the thesis committee: Se-Young Yun, Chulhee Yun, and Kee-Eung Kim (KAIST AI). Thesis as well as presentation file coming soon!

As part of the program The Way to Stockholm, sponsored by the Korea Foundation of Advanced Studies (KFAS), I’ll be in Stockholm from 12/06 to 12/12 to attend the Nobel Prize Lectures, Nobel Prize Dialogue, and more!

One paper (Preliminary Empirical Analyses of Clustering in Block MDPs) is accepted to KSC 2022! This is joint work with Se-Young Yun (KAIST AI). More details to come!

Our preprint Nearly Optimal Latent State Decoding in Block MDPs is now available on arXiv! (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2208.08480.pdf) This is joint work with Yassir Jedra and Alexandre Proutiere (KTH EECS), and Se-Young Yun (KAIST AI).

I will be serving as a reviewer for AAAI 2023. This is my first time reviewing. Very excited..!
