Giuseppe Cuccu
Hello, I'm Giuse (pron. "Joozeh"),
a PhD student working at
IDSIA
under the supervision of
Faustino Gomez.
I am employed on the project "Advanced Cooperative NeuroEvolution for Unsupervised Learning and Autonomous Control"
(EVO 2008),
founded by the Swiss National Foundation
(SNF).
My Ph.D. affiliation is with Università della Svizzera Italiana
(USI) under the supervision of
Jürgen Schmidhuber.
I come from the
Island of Sardinia (Italy), and I got my BSc and MSc in Computer Science in
Milan
at
Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca,
under the supervision of
Leonardo Vanneschi.
My research interests are in Non-linear Controls, Machine Learning, Evolutionary
Computation, Recurrent Neural Networks, Reinforcement Learning,
Fitness Estimation, Game Intelligence, Robotics, and the Lisp programming language.
I also love literature, martial arts and sports,
cooking, strategy, videogames, hardware,
motors (both cars and motorbikes), and much more -
I have a broad curiosity.
