About Us
At the Vermont Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (VaiL) we work at the intersection of machine learning theory and application. Our mission is to improve the adaptability and generalization of machine learning methods, in order to allow higher-quality applications to broader classes of real-life problems. We research deep learning, deep reinforcement learning, and memory-augmented models. Our main application domain is the energy field, though we also collaborate with groups from the medical and transportation fields.
We are looking for bright, hardworking students interested in research and scholarship opportunities. Email a copy of your CV/Resume to safwan.wshah@uvm.edu. Ideal applicants should have knowledge of machine learning fundamentals, experience programming with Python, experience working with common deep learning frameworks (Tensorflow, PyTorch, etc.), and/or experience in energy systems.
