Learning and Planning under Uncertainty for Conservation Decisions

Lily Xu

Abstract

My research focuses on new techniques in machine learning and game theory to optimally allocate our scarce resources in multi-agent settings to maximize environmental sustainability. Drawing scientific questions from my close partnership with conservation organizations, I have advanced new lines of research in learning and planning under uncertainty, inspired by the low-data, noisy, and dynamic settings faced by rangers on the frontlines of protected areas.
