What are psychedelic experiences like?

Mathematical foundations for learning agents

Abstract: 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. 

Everything undergraduate students need to know about seeking a research position for experience! Pizza will be provided by NACS!

We encourage students from marginalized backgrounds to attend! Please contact Claire Morse at cmorse@umd.edu with any questions.
