About
Since October 2017 I am a PhD student at the Machine Learning Group under the supervision of Frank Hutter and Marius Lindauer. Before that I completed my master and bachelor degrees in computer science at the University of Freiburg.Research Interests
I am interested in all facets of artificial intelligence. My research focuses on new ways to control the behavior of algorithms online. More precisely my research areas include:- Dynamic Algorithm Configuration
- Learning to Learn
- (Deep) Reinforcement Learning
- Bayesian Optimization
- Automated Hyperparameter Optimization
Publications
- Publication list
- Google Scholar
- My contributions to the AutoML Blog
Code
- Leading:
- DAC: Dynamic algorithm configuration via reinforcement learning and accompanying white-box benchmarks.
- PyImp: A python package to determine parameter importance based on configuration data.
- CAVE: CAVE aims to help algorithm and configurator developers to better understand their experimental setup in an automated fashion. An example of a CAVE result can be found here. The video presentation for the corresponding CAVE paper as shown at LION'18 can be viewed here.
- Involved:
- SMAC v3: Python implementation of SMAC (Algorithm Configurator) for automatic tuning of parameter configurations on any kind of algorithms.
