Adam White

Adam studied for his Music degree (BMus) at the University of Sheffield. His postgraduate studies have thus far centred on education, issues of assessment and widening participation in adult education.
He is currently preparing to undertake research in the area of music and the imagination. He will be considering how understanding more about the musical imagination might impact upon music teaching.
As a classical guitarist, Adam has performed as a soloist and as a member of a number of ensembles. These have most recently involved the arrangement
and performance of Brazilian music, and of Renaissance lute duets. He has performed on BBC Radio Sheffield and has appeared as arranger and accompanist on several recordings. Adam has also given lecture recitals on the music of John Dowland and JS Bach for the Open University.

Fundamentals of Reinforcement Learning (Coursera)

Reinforcement Learning is a subfield of Machine Learning, but is also a general purpose formalism for automated decision-making and AI. This course introduces you to statistical learning techniques where an agent explicitly takes actions and interacts with the world. Understanding the importance and challenges of learning agents that make [...]

Prediction and Control with Function Approximation (Coursera)

In this course, you will learn how to solve problems with large, high-dimensional, and potentially infinite state spaces. You will see that estimating value functions can be cast as a supervised learning problem---function approximation---allowing you to build agents that carefully balance generalization and discrimination in order to maximize [...]

Sample-based Learning Methods (Coursera)

In this course, you will learn about several algorithms that can learn near optimal policies based on trial and error interaction with the environment---learning from the agent’s own experience. Learning from actual experience is striking because it requires no prior knowledge of the environment’s dynamics, yet can still attain [...]
