About me

A picture of Matthew Bedder, with him looking a lot younger than he currently is.

Previously, Matthew was a Machine Learning Engineering Team Lead working at Secondmind, where he led a multidisciplinery team working on modelling and decision-making problems. Prior to this he was a Senior Machine Learning Research, also at Secondmind, and before that was a research student at the University of York as part of the IGGI Doctoral Training Centre, where his research focussed on trying to make the algorithm of Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) more suitable for usage within the games industry.
