CSC - Patrick Shafto / Mathematical foundations for learning agents

Linguistics | Maryland Language Science Center | Philosophy Thursday, September 5, 2024 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm H.J. Patterson Hall, 2124

Thursday September 5 the Cognitive Science Colloquium kicks off a new season with Patrick Shafto from Mathematics and Computer Science at Rutgers, who will discuss his work on models of learning. The abstract is below.


Learning agents, which include humans and (ideally) AI agents, take actions in the world and learn from the outcomes. I will present our recent efforts toward an integrated theory of learning agents, focusing on cooperative communication as an extended case study. I will close with interesting applications and implications.
