From a technical viewpoint, these approaches usually involve a change of scalar product (as in the H^1 approach à la Villani, or the L^2 approach of Hérau and Dolbeault/Mouhot/Schmeiser). I will discuss two approaches which do not require such a change of scalar product, and henceforth provide the current sharpest quantitative estimates on the resolvent of the generator, which makes it possible for instance to bound the variance of estimators based on time averages along a realization of the process. The first approach, originally due to Armstrong/Mourrat, was adapted to dynamics on the whole space by Cao/Lu/Wang, and is based on space-time Poincare inequalities. I will review some progress made with Giovanni Brigati on better understanding the algebraic structures behind this method, and possibly mention extensions to weak/weighted Poincaré inequalities (in collaboration with Lihan Wang and Andi Wang). The second approach, developed with Etienne Bernard, Max Fathi and Antoine Levitt, is based on Schur complements and provides direct bounds on the resolvent using the specific saddle-point like structure of the generator under an appropriate orthogonal decomposition of L^2.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-11-06T11:24:23", "last_modification_date": "2026-11-06T11:35:26", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "GA 3 21", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==GA%203%2021", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Professor Gabriel Stoltz, CERMICS, Ecole des Ponts & MATHERIALS, Inria Paris", "organizer": "STOAN", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "True", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Hypocoercive methods, orthogonal decomposition", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/122640/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/7/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 73131, "title": "Interface-Engineering and Alloying of Aluminium Nanolaminates: Structure-Property-Stability Relationships", "slug": "interface-engineering-and-alloying-of-aluminium--2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/interface-engineering-and-alloying-of-aluminium--2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/34319/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/34319/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/34319/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-12-11", "end_date": "2026-12-11", "start_time": "15:00:00", "end_time": null, "description": "<p>Thesis Directors: Prof. J.

The request times out after the supplier has already accepted it. The agent retries, two orders ship, and most benchmarks today score this a success. Every step was reasonable, so it is genuinely hard to argue that the model made a mistake. And yet the outcome is clearly wrong.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe usual answer to failures like these is training a better model to lower the failure rate. However, lowering a rate and making a guarantee are not the same thing. A number of applications cannot be built just on the failure rate. This talk starts from a different question: what should the system around the model be required to guarantee instead?<br>\r\n<br>\r\nOver the past two years my group has been working on four contracts, each stating guarantees the system must keep. First, effect, which says when an action becomes real and whether it can happen twice. Second, state, which says what an agent must not forget and what must happen when it does. Third, composition, which asks whether guarantees that hold for one agent still hold once several agents and many steps are involved. Finally, intent, which asks what plays the role of source code when agents generate and execute it on the fly. The four sit at different stages of maturity.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nI will present them alongside the mechanisms we have been developing: typed agent memory that raises a fault instead of forgetting silently, a mediator that admits an effect only when the specification allows it, and a tamper-evident record of what an agent actually did. Writing the contracts down is a first step toward a shared standard, a kind of POSIX for agents, though it is not the last. Systems in use today almost certainly violate these properties: retries that the supplier sees as new orders, rules dropped at compaction with no fault raised, and approvals reused after the reviewed code has changed. The next steps will be working out what to enforce and refining the properties as we build more systems.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nMy goal for this talk is to convince you that training agents to be safe and reliable will need a complementary systems approach.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio</strong><br>\r\nLaurent Bindschaedler leads the Data Systems Group at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems and is an Associate Fellow at Saarland University.

For example, a misaligned model used to scan code for vulnerabilities may want to withhold its findings, i.e., sandbag, in order to exploit them later.<br>\r\nTo study ELK empirically, we need model organisms that mirror this setting. Existing model organisms fall short in several respects. In this work, we train model organisms to withhold solutions in a vulnerability detection task.<br>\r\nWe combine transcript distillation with counter-prompting and tamper-resistance training to instill three properties that we argue are critical for a useful ELK testbed:\r\n</p><ol start=\"1\">\r\n\t<li><strong>Selectivity:</strong> The model sandbags when it thinks the overseer doesn't know the answer and complies otherwise.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Robustness:</strong> The model resists elicitation.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Retention:</strong> The model retains a knowledge advantage over the overseer, as opposed to losing the relevant capability.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nWe train a sequence of model organisms and show that our strongest model substantially outperforms prior models on robustness while keeping the other two properties intact.<br>\r\nWe hope that our model organisms provide a useful ELK testbed for the community, and that our methodology sparks the development of increasingly challenging model organisms.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Speakers & Bios</strong>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Euodia Dodd — Imperial College London</strong><br>\r\n\tEuodia is a PhD student in the AI Security and Privacy Lab at Imperial College London supervised by Prof. Yves-Alexandre de Montjoye, and a MATS 10.1 fellow researching AI Control.

He co-led PostTrainBench, which measures whether LLM agents can autonomously post-train LLMs, and <em>A Sober Look at LM Reasoning</em>, which showed that many reported reasoning gains shrink under standardized evaluation. Most recently, at MATS with Mary Phuong (Google DeepMind), he trained model organisms for sandbagging: models that deliberately underperform on evaluations.</li>\r\n</ul>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-11-09T14:27:49", "last_modification_date": "2026-11-09T14:31:06", "link_label": "Zoom Link", "link_url": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/67428504046?pwd=bpqZcJmCalrvsTlGVbCi097IO2ryIP.1", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "ELE 117", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ELE%20117", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/67428504046?pwd=bpqZcJmCalrvsTlGVbCi097IO2ryIP.1", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Euodia Dodd, Lennart Finke, Hardik Bhatnagar", "organizer": "", "contact": "Nicolas Machado & Fares Fawzi", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/122656/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/416/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72800, "title": "Imaginaires du rail: urbanité résidentielle en paysage ouvert, Nicolas Bassand / LAST", "slug": "imaginaires-du-rail-urbanite-residentielle-en-pays", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/imaginaires-du-rail-urbanite-residentielle-en-pays", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/34015/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/34015/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/34015/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-11-16", "end_date": "2026-11-16", "start_time": "14:15:00", "end_time": "15:30:00", "description": "<p>Lecture by Nicolas Bassand, lecturer at HEPIA Geneva, entitled <strong><em>\"</em></strong>Imaginaires du rail : urbanité résidentielle en paysage ouvert<strong><em>\" </em></strong>within de framework of Prof. Rey's studio <a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/labs/last/index-html/teaching/studio-last/helvepolis-nyon-2026-27/\">Helvepolis</a>, <a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/labs/last/\">Laboratory of Architecture ans Sustainable Technologies (LAST)</a>. </p>", "image_description": "Thumbnail", "creation_date": "2026-10-08T08:52:47", "last_modification_date": "2026-11-09T12:02:32", "link_label": "Personal page", "link_url": "https://www.jointmaster.ch/people/sonia-curnier/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "AAC 0 08", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==AAC%200%2008", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Nicolas Bassand, chargé de cours à HEPIA (théorie niveau bachelor / atelier et théorie niveau master)", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/labs/last/fr/index-fr-html/\">Laboratoire d'architecture et technologies durables (LAST)</a> ", "contact": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">Martine Laprise</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Architecture, Urban planning, Sustainability, Transitions", "file": "https://memento.epfl.ch/public/upload/files/261116ConferenceBassand.pdf", "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/122115/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/59/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 73090, "title": "Ground States of the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation on the hybrid plane.", "slug": "ground-states-of-the-nonlinear-schrodinger-equat-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/ground-states-of-the-nonlinear-schrodinger-equat-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/34279/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/34279/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/34279/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-11-27", "end_date": "2026-11-27", "start_time": "14:15:00", "end_time": "15:30:00", "description": "<p>The hybrid plane is a singular manifold made of a halfline and a plane, attached to each other at one point.
