Reinforcement learning applied to autonomous vehicles: an interview with Oliver Chang

In this interview series, we're meeting some of the AAAI/SIGAI Doctoral Consortium participants to find out more about their research. We caught up with Oliver Chang whose research interests span deep reinforcement learning, autonomous vehicles, and explainable AI. We found out more about some of the projects he's worked on so far, what drew him to the field, and what future AI directions he's excited about. Could you give us a quick introduction to who you are, where you're studying, and the topic of your research? I'm specializing in reinforcement learning applied to autonomous vehicles and UAVs.
