This spring school emphasises connections across control theory, reinforcement learning and stochastic approximation, enabling students to access these broader themes and start to work on cross-cutting projects. The school will be at a preparatory PhD level, suitable for advanced Master's and starting PhD students in these areas.</div><div> </div><div><div>Distinguished Lecturers:</div><div><div><div><a href="https://www.snn.ru.nl/~bertk/" style="background-color: initial; text-decoration-line: underline; cursor: pointer;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bert Kappen, Radboud Univ, Nijmegen, Netherlands</a></div><div><a href="https://debabrota-basu.github.io/" style="background-color: initial; text-decoration-line: underline; cursor: pointer;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Debabrota Basu, Inria, Lille, France</a></div><div><a href="https://www.fransoliehoek.net/wp/" style="background-color: initial; text-decoration-line: underline; cursor: pointer;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Frans Oliehoek, TU Delft, Netherlands</a></div></div></div><div><a href="https://www.epfl.ch/labs/sycamore/professor-maryam-kamgarpour/" style="background-color: initial; text-decoration-line: underline; cursor: pointer;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Maryam Kamgarpour, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland</a></div></div><div><a href="https://meyn.ece.ufl.edu/about/" style="background-color: initial; text-decoration-line: underline; cursor: pointer;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sean Meyn, Univ. of Florida, USA</a></div><div> </div></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><img alt="RSP_Control theory and reinforcement learning-spring school" src="https://www.cwi.nl/images/53632/20250114_semester_ML_spring_school_Approved.width-768.jpg" style="border-style: none; vertical-align: middle;" data-inlineimagemanipulating="true" class="yahoo-loading"></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This school is part of <span style="font-size: 10pt;">a </span><a href="https://www.cwi.nl/en/events/cwi-research-semester-programmes/control-theory-and-reinforcement/" style="text-decoration-line: underline; cursor: pointer; font-size: 10pt;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">research semester programme on Control Theory and Reinforcement Learning at CWI, Amsterdam, NL</a><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, which comprises this </span><a href="https://www.cwi.nl/en/events/cwi-research-semester-programmes/spring-school-control-theory-and-reinforcement-learning/" style="text-decoration-line: underline; cursor: pointer; font-size: 10pt;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spring School (17-21 March)</a><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, a </span><a href="https://www.cwi.nl/en/events/cwi-research-semester-programmes/workshop-themes-across-control-and-reinforcement-learning/" style="text-decoration-line: underline; cursor: pointer; font-size: 10pt;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Workshop on Themes (24-25 March)</a><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, a </span><a href="https://www.cwi.nl/en/events/cwi-research-semester-programmes/workshop-on-modern-applications-of-control-theory-and-reinforcement-learning/" style="text-decoration-line: underline; cursor: pointer; font-size: 10pt;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Workshop on Modern Applications (20-21 May)</a><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, and an upcoming one on Theory (19-20 June). </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Download and </span><a href="https://www.cwi.nl/documents/199888/poster_A3_Control_Theory_and_Reinforcement_Learning.pdf" style="text-decoration-line: underline; cursor: pointer; font-size: 10pt;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">advertise the poster</a><span style="font-size: 10pt;">.</span><div> </div><div>Looking forward to seeing you!</div><div>On behalf of the organizers.</div><div><a href="https://www.cwi.nl/en/events/cwi-research-semester-programs/control-theory-and-reinforcement/" style="background-color: initial; text-decoration-line: underline; cursor: pointer;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.cwi.nl/en/events/cwi-research-semester-programs/control-theory-and-reinforcement/</a> </div></div></div><br></div></div></body></html>
