Brain-Body Co-Optimization of Embodied Machines | Embodied AI Lecture Series at AI2
July 9, 2021 | Nick CheneyEmbodied Cognition posits that the body of an agent is not only a vessel to contain the mind, but meaningfully influences the agent's brain and contributes to its intelligent behavior through morphological computation. In this talk, I'll introduce a system for studying the role of complex brains and bodies in…
Oren Etzioni - The case against (worrying about) existential risk from AI
June 16, 2021 | Towards Data Science PodcastHost Jeremie Harris talks AI catastrophic risk skepticism with Oren Etzioni, CEO of the Allen Institute for AI, a world-leading AI research lab that's developed many well-known projects, including the popular AllenNLP library, and Semantic Scholar.
Towards Human-Level Spatial Perception: 3D Dynamic Scene Graphs and Certifiable Algorithms for Robot Perception
June 11, 2021 | Luca CarloneSpatial perception —the robot’s ability to sense and understand the surrounding environment— is a key enabler for autonomous systems operating in complex environments, including self-driving cars and unmanned aerial vehicles. Recent advances in perception algorithms and systems have enabled robots to detect…
Self-Adaptive Manipulation: Rethinking Embodiments in Embodied Intelligence | Embodied AI Lecture Series at AI2
June 3, 2021 | Shuran SongRecent advancements in embodied intelligence have shown exciting results in adapting to diverse and complex external environments. However, much work remains incognizant of the agents' internal hardware (i.e., the embodiment), which often plays a critical role in determining the system's overall functionality and…
Do Blind AI Navigation Agents Build Maps? | Embodied AI Lecture Series at AI2
May 14, 2021 | Dhruv BatraThe embodiment hypothesis is the idea that “intelligence emerges in the interaction of an agent with an environment and as a result of sensorimotor activity”. Imagine walking up to a home robot and asking “Hey robot – can you go check if my laptop is on my desk? And if so, bring it to me”. Or asking an egocentric…
Sensory and ecological bases of plan-based action selection | Embodied AI Lecture Series at AI2
April 16, 2021 | Malcolm A. MacIverCurrent evidence for the ability of some animals to plan—imagining some future set of possibilities and picking the one assessed to have the highest value—is restricted to birds and mammals. Nonetheless, all animals have had just as long to evolve what seems to be a useful capacity. In this talk, I review some…
IFFC Invited Talk: Accelerating Scientific Exploration by Mining and Visualizing COVID-19 Literature
February 15, 2021 | Tom HopeThe IFCC Virtual Conference on Critical Role of Clinical Laboratories in the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Transformers as Soft Reasoners over Language
January 7, 2021 | Peter ClarkBeginning with McCarthy's Advice Taker (1959), AI has pursued the goal of providing a system with explicit, general knowledge and having the system reason over that knowledge. However, expressing the knowledge in a formal (logical or probabilistic) representation has been a major obstacle to this research. This…
Natural Perturbation for Robust Question Answering - EMNLP 2020
October 28, 2020 | Daniel KhashabiA study cost-efficiency of local perturbations for model training.
