Iñigo Urteaga, Ikerbasque Research Fellow at BCAM, will be Co-Principal Investigator in a US National Science Foundation (NSF) research project for the next 4 years.

The project is funded by NSF's 'Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science (SCH)' program and in it, Urteaga and the international research team will investigate Human-Centered Reinforcement Learning (RL).

NSF-SCH supports the development of high-risk, high-reward, transformative breakthroughs in computer and data science, mathematics, and statistics research to address pressing questions in the biomedical and public health communities.

The project will develop novel Human-Centered RL approaches to learn dialog structures that balance optimal information gathering, with intuitiveness and logical conversational structures as perceived by humans. 

In addition, Iñigo Urteaga will advance his research on Machine Learning methodologies and their application to real problems; in this case, in health.
