Natasha Jaques is currently a Research Scientist at @Google Brain and post-doc fellow at @UC Berkeley , where her research interests are in designing multi-agent RL algorithms while focusing on social reinforcement learning, that can improve generalization, coordination between agents, and collaboration between human and AI agents. She received her PhD from @Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where she focused on Affective Computing and other techniques for deep/reinforcement learning. She has also received multiple awards for her research works submitted to venues like ICML and NeurIPS She has interned at @DeepMind , Google Brain, and is an @OpenAI Scholars mentor.

Great video as always.
I believe the next interview/question that may excites everyone is that "What defines novelty? What is novelty in the PhD context? How to determine the novelty of the PhD project now where new researches/publications have been publish rapidly?" I believe this question has been impactful in the PhD community, especially the new PhD students. Hopefully these suggested questions can be answered to help new/current students.
That’s a really nice question suggestion. I’ll keep that one bookmarked and ask an appropriate speaker. Thanks!!
This is truly inspiring and helpful to people like us...confused and want to decide if PhD is right for us. Thanks
Natasha is great man!
Thank you for these videos Jay, Only suggestion is you should normalize the audio between the two channels so both speakers are speaking at the same volume. That way it doesn't go from quiet to loud. RIP headphone users.
Thanks for the tip! I will definitely keep this in mind for the future ones and see if I can fix the already uploaded. Glad that you like them :)
Nice work Jay. Thank you
Today her video got recommended to me of starsconf 2018. She is frickin' legend.👏
any ways how are these two ideas: 'predict the recession' and 'predict the evolution of structure of humans as a living creature'
Those are two nice applications you can try out. The former seems to be doable with ample data, the latter seems to be more challenging to design the appropriate structure of model and features of data…
