Alon Cohen
I am a senior lecturer at the school of Electrical Engineering - Systems at Tel-Aviv University, and a researcher at Google Research Tel-Aviv. I have a PhD in Machine Learning from the faculty of IE&M at the Technion under the supervision of Prof. Tamir Hazan.
My research interest are statistical and online learning as well as decision-making under uncertainty. In particular, I am interested at the intersection between online learning and reinforcement learning.
