Olivier Teytaud, a French computer scientist and researcher at Facebook, previously affiliated with INRIA Saclay-IDF, CNRS, Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique (LRI), Paris-Sud University. His research covers planning, machine learning, dynamic and genetic programming, optimization, and operational research. Olivier Teytaud is co-author of the Havannah programs Shakti and Shakty, and co-author of the Go playing program Mogo, using Monte-Carlo Tree Search which uses patterns in the simulations and improvements in UCT.
