I am a computational cognitive scientist interested in understanding and improving decision-making and learning. My research translates advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence into computational models of cognitive mechanisms and vice versa. The theoretical foundation for this work is the cognitive modeling paradigm of resource rational analysis that I have developed during my Ph.D. in Tom Griffiths's Computational Cognitive Science lab at UC Berkeley.
I have been leading the Rationality Enhancement Group at the MPI for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen since July 2018. Ongoing projects in the lab investigate how people discover cognitive strategies, how people plan, and how digital interventions and artificial intelligence can be leveraged to boost human learning and decision-making.
Falk Lieder gave a talk on Life Improvement Science at the Computer Science Department of Graz University of Technology in Austria on October 13, 2020.
Beyond Bounded Rationality: Reverse-Engineering and Enhancing Human Intelligence
Falk Lieder was awarded the Glushko Prize in 2020 for his 2018 Ph.D. thesis: “Beyond Bounded Rationality: Reverse-Engineering and Enhancing Human Intelligence”. This recorded talk was prepared for the virtual CogSci conference in 2020. Here he presents the main ideas behind the research on his thesis.
