István Szita, a Hungarian computer scientist and software engineer at Google Zurich. He holds a Ph.D. from Eötvös Loránd University on reinforcement learning (RL) , and was postdoctoral researcher at Maastricht University, the RL3 group of Rutgers University, and the University of Alberta. Beside RL, his research interests include games, and recurrent neural nets.
