Glen Berseth wants to go beyond machines that only perform repetitive tasks that people showed them how to complete, and instead develop robots that can learn to solve problems more independently, in the real world, based on own their experiences.
Industry experts and researchers in various fields deal with complex processes and designs that can benefit from automated feedback loops for testing and improvement. Prof. Berseth is working to expand the applications of recent artificial intelligence methods to speed up and improve the accuracy of development process for creating chemicals and new materials. These have many potential uses, from constructing greener buildings at lower cost to producing food more efficiently.
Glen Berseth joined the University of Montreal in the summer of 2021 and Mila, the Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute. He previously did postdoctoral research at the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Lab.
