Erik Matias Lintunen

I'm a Doctoral Researcher in the Autotelic Interaction Research group @ Aalto University, supervised by Prof. Christian Guckelsberger.

My research focuses on the computational modelling of psychologically plausible intrinsic motivation, specifically examining how it shapes goal selection in multi-task reinforcement learning. This entails designing algorithms that autonomously set and pursue goals to learn diverse skills. Additionally, my work involves developing methods to evaluate open-ended learning algorithms, for instance, by measuring skill diversity. This evaluation is crucial for understanding the breadth and adaptability of these algorithms in learning a wide range of abilities over time.
