Projects(TO BE UPDATED)

• Maintainer: https://github.com/thu-ml/tianshou An elegant PyTorch deep reinforcement learning library.

  • I created the Offline RL part of Tianshou, implemented several common Offline RL algorithms (e.g., BCQ, CQL) on Tianshou for the first time, and introduced the unit tests of Offline RL.

Experience

Undergraduate Student at Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University

2019 - 2023

PhD Student at TSAIL, Tsinghua University

2023 - Present

Under the guidance of Professor Jun Zhu and Associated Professor Hang Su.
