Scouting report
Co-authored sequence-to-sequence learning and Pointer Networks, led AlphaStar to grandmaster level at StarCraft II — a far messier problem than board games — and is now a lead on Gemini. One of the few researchers whose career spans the pre-transformer, game-playing and frontier-model eras at the top of each.
Curator’s note
Has been at the front of three different eras of the field.
