Igor V. Karpov
Masters Alumni
Igor's interests center on neuroevolution of intelligent behavior. He was part of the team that won the BotPrize (Turing test for game bots) in 2012, and he was the lead developer of OpenNERO platform for AI research and education. His dissertation focuses on utilizing human knowledge to guide neuroevolution.
