This is really relevant for many of us, so I suggest we skip the ITA meeting and attend this talk tomorrow (including the interns).

Title:
Challenges in building autonomous agents that interact with other agents

Abstract:
A core aim of artificial intelligence research is to develop autonomous agents capable of effective interaction with other agents to solve complex tasks. I will discuss some of the challenges faced when designing such agents, focussing on two main processes: reasoning about the intent and decision making of other agents based on historical and contextual data, and incorporating such reasoning to plan robust, efficient, and safe actions. In the first part I will discuss the problem of model criticism in multi-agent interaction and our research in this area. I will also discuss applications to secure authentication in computer networks and interaction-aware planning for autonomous vehicles.

Short bio:
Dr. Stefano V. Albrecht is Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence in the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, where he leads the Autonomous Agents Research Group (http://agents.inf.ed.ac.uk<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fagents.inf.ed.ac.uk&data=01%7C01%7C%7Cffa89357840a473345d608d700834168%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&sdata=xpepPYrnLOjEb0%2Frxo%2BbNtQQqwbq1Twt%2FdPYI3f3g6M%3D&reserved=0>). His research interests are in the areas of autonomous agents, multi-agent systems, machine/reinforcement learning, and game theory, with a focus on sequential decision making under uncertainty. His research on multi-agent interaction and complex probabilistic inference has been published in leading AI conferences and journals, including IJCAI, AAAI, UAI, AAMAS, AIJ and JAIR. Dr. Albrecht is a Royal Society Industry Fellow working with UK-based company FiveAI to research and develop artificial intelligence technologies for autonomous vehicles. Previously, Dr. Albrecht was a postdoctoral fellow at The University of Texas at Austin supported by a fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. He obtained his PhD (2015) and MSc (2011) degrees in artificial intelligence from Edinburgh University and a BSc degree (2010) in computer science from TU Darmstadt.
