OSU AI Seminar - April 28th 2021 | J. Andrew (Drew) Bagnell - Aurora.tech/CMU

Dear All, Our first seminar for this spring term will be by Prof. J. Andrew (Drew) Bagnell from Aurora.tech/Carnegie Mellon University. He will be presenting *"*Machine Learning, Games, and the Aurora Driver*"* on *Wednesday 4/28 from 1.00-2.00PM PT.* Zoom Link: https://tinyurl.com/eeapzpxk Please find attached the poster flyer for more information. *Title*: Machine Learning, Games, and the Aurora Driver *Abstract*: In this talk, I’ll explore the power of a game-theoretic viewpoint in self-driving and in machine learning. We’ll begin by considering the application of machine learning to Aurora’s advanced self-driving system in perception, forecasting and decision-making. We’ll discuss particularly complexities that arise from multi-actor interaction. We will then explore the, perhaps surprising, role a game-theoretic view can take in developing algorithms for learning to make decisions. *Bio*: J. Andrew (Drew) Bagnell is Chief Scientist and co-founder of Aurora (aurora.tech) where he works to develop self-driving vehicles. He also serves as Consulting Professor at CMU’s Robotics Institute and Machine Learning Department. He has worked for two decades at the intersection of ML and robotics in industrial and academic roles. Bagnell’s group has received over a dozen research awards for publications in both the robotics and ML communities including best paper awards at ICML, RSS, and ICRA. He received the 2016 Ryan Award, CMU’s award for Meritorious Teaching, and served as the founding director of the Robotics Institute Summer Scholars program, a research experience that has enabled hundreds of undergraduates throughout the world to leap into robotics research. Please plan on attending! Thanks, Jay Patravali Graduate Student, CoRIS-EECS. Oregon State University ---- AI Seminar Important Reminders: -> The AI Seminar has a strict "no electronics" and "no recordings" policy. -> For graduate students in the AI program, attendance is strongly encouraged.
