Welcome!
We are the Machine Reasoning Lab at Linköping University, Sweden. Our research topics include:
- Learning representations for planning
- Planning models, algorithms, and techniques
- Planning and reinforcement learning
- Generalized planning
- Model-based vs. model-free intelligence
You can find us in the E building close to entrance 29C.
We are hiring!
