A public selection, based on qualifications and interview, is hereby
announced for the award of no. 1 (one) - "*Professionalizing research grant*"
for the performance of research activities related to the Scientific Area
of "Machine learning" to be carried out at the *Institute of Cognitive
Sciences and Technologies of the CNR in Rome*, which carries out research
in the framework of the research programme "*PILLAR-Robots: Purposeful
Intrinsically Motivated Lifelong Learning Autonomous Robots*", for the
following topic: "*study and development of machine learning algorithms in
the framework of reinforcement learning, for the implementation in
autonomous artificial agents guided by intrinsic motivation*"


*Research Program*In the context of the *development of artificial systems
for intrinsically motivated open-ended learning*, the research programme
focuses on the conceptualization, formalisation and implementation of *machine
learning* tools (in particular *within the reinforcement learning framework*)
that can *support embodied artificial agents in autonomously learning to
interact with the environment.* The research will be supported by data
analysis techniques, and inspired by the literature on autonomous
open-ended learning.

*Qualifications*
