They were introduced by Chermak to study the p-local structure of finite groups and come equipped with a \"domain,\" which consists in the set of words for which the product is defined. At first glance, given a fixed set X, it may seem possible to define infinitely many partial group structures on X by varying the domains, even while ensuring that all these structures have coherent products. For example, if G is a finite group, one might expect that there could be infinitely many different partial group structures \"contained\" in G by selectively removing sets of words from the domain.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHowever, in a joint work with Philip Hakney, we show that finite partial groups are truly finite objects: they can be defined using only a finite set of data and, in particular, contain only finitely many \"partial subgroups.\" This follows from the fact that finite partial groups have finite dimension as symmetric sets. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nDuring the talk, we will explore both the algebraic and topological approaches to partial groups and no prior knowledge of the topic will be assumed</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-06-02T09:06:33", "last_modification_date": "2026-06-02T09:06:36", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CM 1 517", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CM%201%20517", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Rémi Molinier, Université Grenoble-Alpes", "organizer": "Jérôme Scherer ", "contact": "Maroussia Schaffner", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120939/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences -

In artificial intelligence, we frame this as lifelong learning: autonomous agents that continue to adapt after deployment as they encounter new tasks and environments. In this talk, I will argue that successful lifelong learning agents require a form of introspection: they must be able to reason about the scope and limits of their own knowledge. This self-knowledge allows an agent to answer three fundamental questions. What do I know? When can I reuse what I know? And what do I still need to learn? I will present recent work from my group showing how ideas from interpretability and explainability can surface the knowledge needed to answer these questions. I will first show how learned representations can be used to identify when inputs are novel, enabling out-of-distribution detection. Then, I will discuss how this can be built upon to give agents a way to distinguish between situations where prior knowledge can be safely reused and situations where new learning is needed. Together, this work shows that interpretability is not only a tool for transparency, but a mechanism for building agents that recognize, reuse, and acquire knowledge over time.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio</strong><br>\r\nJoseph Campbell is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, where he leads the Collaborative AI for Machines and People Lab.
