Nadia M. Ady

Postdoctoral Researcher
Department of Computer Science

My current research interests are in artificial intelligence, specifically in the possibilities for imbuing machines with traits of creativity and curiosity. In particular, my recent work has been towards better understanding the landscape of intrinsically motivated learning algorithms and to achieving the benefits of specific curiosity for machine learners.
