Sylvain+Gelly

a French computer scientist, and former member of the //Learning and Optimisation Group (A&O)// in the [|Laboratoire de recherche en informatique (LRI)] under the direction of Michèle Sebag and Nicolas Bredèche at Paris-Sud 11 University. He defended his Ph.D. thesis //A Contribution to Reinforcement Learning; Application to Computer Go// in 2007. His research interests covers machine learning and he is one of the authors of //OpenDP//, a general and featured framework of reinforcement learning, and in particular of dynamic programming, and co-author of the top level Go playing program [|Mogo], using Monte-Carlo Tree Search which uses patterns in the simulations and improvements in UCT. || toc =Selected Publications=
