Hi, I'm Yugo. I'm a researcher at EPFL working at the intersection of neuroscience and machine learning.

I'm interested in how brains learn useful models of the world from experience, and whether machines can learn the same way.

01 — My research interests

How do brains build models of the world — and can machines learn the same way?

  1. 01

    World models

    Learning compact, predictive models of the environment that an agent can use to imagine and plan.

  2. 02

    Local learning rules

    Hebbian and other local plasticity rules as an alternative (or complement) to backprop.

  3. 03

    Control & planning

    Using learned models for model-predictive control and decision making.
