Welcome to my Homepage! The content of this site is centered around my current and past interests and activities.

I am Senior Researcher at DeepMind in London, and Honorary Professor in the Research School of Computer Science (RSCS) at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra. Before I was with IDSIA in Switzerland and NICTA. My research at RSCS/ANU/NICTA/IDSIA is/was centered around Universal Artificial Intelligence, which is a mathematical top-down approach to AI, based on Kolmogorov complexity, algorithmic probability, universal Solomonoff induction, Occam's razor, Levin search, sequential decision theory, dynamic programming, reinforcement learning, and rational agents. Generally I'm attracted by fundamental problems on the boundary between Science and Philosophy, which have a chance of being solved in my expected lifespan. One is Artificial Intelligence. The other is Particle Physics with questions related to physical Theories of Everything. Mathematics in its whole breadth (statistics, numerics, algebra, ...) has become my constant and cherished companion.

Marcus Hutter

Mini biography: Marcus Hutter is Senior Researcher at DeepMind and Professor in the RSCS at the Australian National University. He received his PhD and BSc in physics from the LMU in Munich and a Habilitation, MSc, and BSc in informatics from the TU Munich. Since 2000, his research at IDSIA and ANU and DeepMind has centered around the information-theoretic foundations of inductive reasoning and reinforcement learning, which has resulted in 200+ publications and several awards. His books on “Universal Artificial Intelligence” develop the first sound and complete theory of super-intelligent machines (ASI). He also runs the Human Knowledge Compression Contest (500'000€ H-prize). See http://www.hutter1.net/ for further information.
