Dr. Pedro A. Ortega
Pedro A. Ortega, Ph.D.
is
Research Associate at the
Max-Planck Institute for Cybernetic Systems
in Tübingen, Germany.
Pedro’s main interests are the mathematical foundations of
Cybernetics. Other
interests are: information theory, learning, causality, complexity
theory, and physics.
He is currently working on a
Theory of Autonomous Agents together with
Daniel A. Braun. He is especially interested in two problems:
resource-bounded adaptive control and structural learning (i.e.
abstraction).
Pedro authored
Logic, Reasoning under Uncertainty and
Causality,
coauthored
Information, Utility & Bounded Rationality,
Reinforcement Learning
and the Bayesian Control Rule,
An Axiomatic Formalization of Bounded Rationality Based on an
Utility-Information Equivalence,
A Bayesian Rule for Adaptive Control based on Causal
Interventions,
A Minimum Relative Entropy Principle for Learning and Acting,
A Medical Claim Fraud/Abuse Detection System
based on Data Mining: A Case Study in Chile, and
Nash Equilibria in Multi-Agent Motor Interactions.
