Hey, I'm Dominik Jeurissen, and I'm passionate about both software engineering and machine learning, with a particular interest in fully autonomous agents that do not rely on absurd amounts of data. My focus areas include reinforcement learning, unsupervised learning, and the emerging capabilities of large language models.

I earned my MSc in Artificial Intelligence from Maastricht University and my BSc in Computer Science with a focus on Applied Mathematics from RWTH Aachen. During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a software engineer at INFORM GmbH, contributing to their supply management software, add*ONE.

A description of Dominik's research:

My PhD is a collaboration with Creative Assembly, focusing on researching AI for complex strategy games, such as Total War. With the recent emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs), I’m exploring their potential to enhance game-playing agents. LLMs can instantly recall knowledge on almost any topic (though not without occasional errors), perform basic reasoning, and are easily configured for a wide range of text-based tasks. These abilities make them especially promising for game development, where machine learning agents often struggle due to constantly changing game environments.
