Research SummarY
My work lies at the intersection of cognitive science, neuroscience, AI research, and social science. In my Oxford group, we study how humans learn and decide, from a behavioural, comptuational and neural standpoint. We use neural network models as theories of human learning and cognition, and as objects of study in their own right. We also use deep networks as tools for assisting human behaviour, such as accelerating learning and helping humans cooperate and find agreement.
