Changling Li

I'm a computer science master student at ETH Zurich majoring in machine intelligence and minoring in theoretical computer science. My research interests center on the dynamic interplay between artificial intelligence and society, with a particular focus on reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, and AI ethics. This passion for cooperation and ethical considerations is deeply rooted in my personal experiences and identity, especially during my time at United World College where I witnessed the power of communication and mutual respect in building understanding and unity despite massive culture differences. I believe that developing interactions among AIs, and between AIs and humans requires the same foundational principles with both technical innovation and philosophical advancement.

I am currently working with Hui Zhang in collaboration with Prof.Mirko Meboldt at ETH Zurich and with Zhang-Wei Hong in collaboration with Prof.Pulkit Agrawal at MIT and Prof.Joni Pajarinen at Aalto University. Previously, I obtained my B.A. degrees in computer science and physics with a concentration in astrophysics at Colby College. I was fortunate to work with Prof.Ying Li for my honor thesis which led me to discover my research interest in decision-making in multi-agent systems.

Outside research, I enjoy watching films and sometimes write short critiques. I also love playing squash and rowing. Before I got into computer science, I was an art student.

By formulating experience prioritization as an occupancy optimization problem, we show that the form of TD-error based prioritization is closely associated with the form of the loss function and thus, we propose a new formulation of prioritization using KL-divergence.
