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… more
IFFC Invited Talk: Accelerating Scientific Exploration by Mining and Visualizing COVID-19 Literature

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… more
