"Here then is the only expedient, from which we an hope for success in our philosophical researches, to leave the tedious lingering method, which we have hitherto followed, and instead of taking now and then a castle or village on the frontier, to march up directly to the capital or center of these sciences, to human nature itself; which being once masters of, we may every where else hope for an easy victory."
- David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature

Who Am I?
My full name is Marc Gendron-Bellemare.
I am a fifth year PhD candidate at the University of Alberta (Computing Science). My supervisor is Michael Bowling. My major area of interest in Artificial Intelligence is Reinforcement Learning. Over the years, I have been interested in function approximation, feature discovery and predictive state representations. I have helped develop the Critterbot, a reinforcement learning robot built by the Reinforcement Learning and Artificial Intelligence lab at the University of Alberta. I am currently working on A.L.E., the Atari Learning Environment, developped by Yavar Naddaf. I graduated from McGill University with a Master's degree and a Honours BSc. in Computer Science, both under Doina Precup.
