The Autonomous Learning Laboratory (ALL) carries out foundational interdisciplinary research on machine learning and computational models of biological learning. Autonomous learning refers to what a self-reliant agent must do to learn from its own experiences. The long-term goals of the laboratory are to develop more capable artificial agents, to improve our understanding of biological learning and its neural basis, and to forge stronger links between studies of learning by computer scientists, engineers, neuroscientists, and psychologists. Areas of interest include reinforcement learning, machine learning, abstraction, hierarchy, motor control, robotics, computational neuroscience and developmental psychology.

ALL is supported in part by the following organizations:


Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
National Institutes of Health
National Science Foundation
Members of ALL also maintain the Reinforcement Learning Repository, a centralized resource for research on reinforcement learning.
