Hello,

My name is Mukta Bain; I am looking for a female roommate by the end of this year. I have two bedrooms with a shared bathroom. It is located at Ceder Run Apartments. The UMBC bus transit is next to the apartment. The rent will be split in half. Many UMBC students live nearby. 

I do have a 7-pound hypoallergenic puppy. 

If you are interested, please email me for more information.

Thank you.

Data efficiency, i.e., learning from small datasets, is of practical importance in many real-world applications and decision-making systems. Data efficiency can be achieved in multiple ways, such as probabilistic modeling, where models and predictions are equipped with meaningful uncertainty estimates, Bayesian optimization, transfer learning, or the incorporation of valuable prior knowledge.  In this talk, I will focus on how robot learning can benefit from data-efficient learning. In particular, I will motivate the use of Gaussian process models for learning good control strategies in three different settings: model-based reinforcement learning, transfer learning, and Bayesian optimization.
