I'm a PhD student on the AIMS CDT supervised by Professor Mark van der Wilk in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford.
I research computer models of neural networks. In recent decades, ML research has succeeded in training AI models that are highly intelligent in many ways. But ML research has failed (so far) at developing AI models that can learn as efficiently as humans can learn, in terms of both memory and data consumption.
The ultimate goal of my research is to understand how to design AI models that can learn any task at least as efficiently as a human could learn it. Such an understanding would be useful in practise, and would also deepen our scientific understanding of intelligence, which would therefore deepen our understanding of ourselves.
I believe that the efficiency with which we learn is a fundamentally important component of natural intelligence. If we don't understand how to learn efficiently, then we don't understand intelligence (we don't). And I think that understanding intelligence may help us to fully appreciate its wonder.
