Introduction

Martin Arjovsky is a postdoctoral researcher at INRIA. His research focuses on generative modeling, generalization, and exploration in RL. Martin's PhD thesis is titled "Out of Distribution Generalization in Machine Learning", which he completed in 2019 at New York University. We discuss his work on the influential Wasserstein GAN early in his PhD, then discuss his thesis work on out-of-distribution generalization which focused on causal invariance and invariant risk minimization.
