Hi! I am Ankesh Anand, a PhD student in Artifical Intelligence at Mila, working with Aaron Courville and Hugo Larochelle on Reinforcement Learning and Grounded Language Learning. I also work part-time at Microsoft Research, Montreal as a research intern.

Earlier, I graduated from IIT Kharagpur with a Bachelors and Masters in Mathematics and Computing. I have also spent time at VISA, HackerEarth and Google Summer of Code.

News

• Our paper on Blindfold Baselines for Embodied QA was accepted to the NeurIPS 2018 ViGIL workshop.
• I gave a talk on Learning with Embodied Agents in 3D environments at Microsoft Research, Montreal.
