Teaching

I have been served as a Teaching Assistant for the following courses:

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Jan -- Apr, 2013 and 2014

I was invited to give a one-hour lecture on Reinforcement Learning at this course. To help the students to better understand the process of RL, I also implemented a GUI-based system for a Wumpus World game. With this system, students can tune parameters of RL, observe each state of the game step by step, and generate learning curves to analyse effects of different parameters.

An Experiment involving the students of this course:

In March 2014, we asked the students who attended this course to give argument-based domain knowledge for the Wumpus World game, within a one-hour tutorial session. The students are a mix of 2nd-year undergraduates majoring in computer science and one-year M.Sc. students with non-computing first degree. Even though they are new to RL and argumentation, their arguments help RL improve its performance in this game: we collected 128 students' answers, and by augmenting SARSA(0) algorithm with these arguments, the average performance got improved.
