Haanvid Lee is a Machine Learning Researcher at Borealis AI with 11 years of experience applying reinforcement learning and offline evaluation techniques to recommendation systems and financial services at RBC. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from KAIST, where his dissertation advanced off-policy evaluation methods, and an MS in Electrical Engineering focused on deep learning for video recognition. At Borealis he designs and evaluates offline contextual bandit and offline RL policies, then validates them through rigorous off-policy evaluation and online A/B testing. His background bridges theoretical RL research and practical deployment, enabling robust model selection under distributional shifts common in finance. Based in Toronto, he combines academic rigor with production-minded experimentation to turn research ideas into measurable business impact. An under-the-radar strength is his dual expertise in video-based deep learning and RL, which informs creative approaches to feature engineering and representation learning in recommendation tasks.
