    • FOLDS seminar: Dynamics of large-step gradient descent near flat minima

    FOLDS seminar: /
    Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414 3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United States

    Zoom link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/98220304722 Classically, convergence guarantees for gradient descent (GD) require that the step size be sufficiently small compared to the local curvature ("sharpness") of the objective. This "small-step" condition is routinely violated in the practical training of deep learning models, wherein the favoured  "large-step" GD is  observed to converge with intriguing oscillatory dynamics and an […]

    ESE Fall Colloquium: “Robust Multi-Agent Autonomy Under Uncertainty”

    /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Unmanned ground and aerial systems hold promise for critical applications, including search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and autonomous delivery. Real-world deployment in safety-critical settings, however, remains challenging due to GPS-denied operation, perceptual uncertainty, energy constraints, and the need for safe trajectory planning in dynamic unknown environments. This talk presents recent advances in planning, control, and […]

    ESE Fall Colloquium: “Learning Robot World Models Through Play”

    /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
    Hybrid Event

    Predictive models of the world are fundamental to robotics — from planning, to evaluation, to reinforcement learning. However, despite decades of investment in physics-based simulation, we do not have models that can endow robots with general manipulation capabilities. In this talk, I will discuss the potential of action-conditioned video generation models to serve as general-purpose […]

    • ESE Fall Colloquium: “Bottom-up Domain-Specific Superintelligence”

    /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
    Hybrid Event

    Zoom Link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/99074346805 Meeting ID: 990 7434 6805 Passcode: 519615 The artificial intelligence (AI) industry is currently focused on achieving general superintelligence in a top-down fashion by training very large (trillions of parameters) omniscient multimodal models using a large language model (LLM) as a base. This approach is insatiably thirsty for data during training, leading […]
