Recent and upcoming events:
We have a pair of tutorials, one on Self-Interested Decision Making in Sequential Multiagent Settings and one on Cooperative Decision Making in Sequential Multiagent Settings at AAMAS-13 with Prashant Doshi, Frans Oliehoek, Zinovi Rabinovich, Matthijs Spaan and Stefan Witwicki. You can see the website here.I co-organized the workshop on Decision Making in Partially Observable, Uncertain Worlds: Exploring Insights from Multiple Communities at IJCAI-11. For more info, check out the website.

I'm very interested in using my work for real-world applications. Here are some press articles on some of these topics.Automated surveillance with security cameras:
- There is an article about some of my recent work on balancing time and quality to quickly track and detect security threats at MITnews.
- Here is another article on this work with some more info on the approach at Talking Points Memo.
- Another article with more quotes from me about the research at Security Info Watch.
- There is a Q&A about some of my work on creating opponents that learn to improve in computer games over at PhaseLeap.
I maintain the DEC-POMDP page which contains information about the decentralized partially observable Markov decision process (DEC-POMDP) model for describing multiagent decision making under uncertainty. Check it out for an overview, publications, talks and code for various datasets.
While working at Microsoft Research over the summer, I developed a reinforcement learning framework for the video game Civilization IV. You can download it and be able to have the AI learn to improve its play with different RL algorithms. Check it out at the MSR website.
