[CoRIS-List] Reminder: Friday, 10am: Kory Mathewson

Hi All, As a reminder, we have an OSU Robotics Zoom seminar at 10am on Friday April 30: Kory Mathewson (DeepMind) Speaker bio: https://korymathewson.com Watch link: *https://oregonstate.zoom.us/j/97644079157?pwd=WXRZeEhOR0padXVzb2NkVkVkVEFmZz... <https://oregonstate.zoom.us/j/97644079157?pwd=WXRZeEhOR0padXVzb2NkVkVkVEFmZz09>* --- Title: "Humour-in-the-loop: Spontaneous Storytelling with Interactive Machine Learning" Abstract: Improvisation is the ideal evaluation testbed for collaboration between humans and intelligent machines. In improvised theatre artists perform real-time, dynamic problem solving to collaboratively generate interesting narratives. I co-developed artificial improvisation: improvised theatre performed by humans alongside intelligent machines. I start by presenting the background underlying the art of improvisation and the scientific fields of interactive machine learning and dialogue generation. Then, I present Pyggy, the first experiment on live stage human-machine improvisation, and A.L.Ex., the Artificial Language Experiment, which addresses several critical technical improvements over Pyggy. "Improbotics" is then presented, which details audience evaluation of Turing test-inspired live improvised performance using A.L.Ex. The talk concludes by discussing public reflections on live artificial improvisation performances from around the world and interesting future directions to explore. I also discuss ongoing work at the intersection of intelligent minds both human and machine. --- Pre- and post-seminar Gather space for OSU Robotics attendees (with an integrated link to the main talk) is at https://gather.town/app/HeC6WAB1zL6cKWp5/OSU%20Robotics%20Seminar -Ross =========== Ross L.
