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.

A major challenge is that social interactions are reciprocal: animals continuously change each other’s sensory experience, making it hard to separate stimulus, perception, internal state, and behavioral response.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn my lab, we use juvenile zebrafish shoaling as an experimentally accessible model for vertebrate social behavior. Using virtual reality, we previously identified self-like biological motion as a visual trigger of shoaling and traced this signal into a tecto-thalamic pathway that contributes to social attraction. We now build on this framework to ask how elementary visual cues are combined into richer social representations.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nI will discuss two examples. In one project, behavioral experiments and neural recordings suggest that zebrafish evaluate group size through an integrated visual variable that combines object number and motion, so that faster small groups can become behaviorally equivalent to slower larger groups. In another, we study social buffering: the reduction of fear-related behavior by conspecific cues. Here, social information can either transmit immediate alarm or provide persistent safety, depending on context. Whole-brain activity mapping reveals neural correlates of fear state and its suppression by social cues.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nTogether, these projects show how controlled visual stimuli, quantitative behavior, whole-brain activity mapping, and cellular-resolution imaging can reveal how animals transform simple sensory features into social decisions. More broadly, this work aims to understand how nervous systems extract meaning from the motion and presence of others — from detecting social cues to finding safety in numbers.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-27T13:07:49", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-27T13:07:49", "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": "Prof. Johannes Larsch <[email protected]> ", "organizer": "Prof. Sahand Jamal Rahi <[email protected]>\r\n\r\nJohanni Brea <[email protected]> ", "contact": "Prof. Sahand Jamal Rahi <[email protected]>\r\n\r\nJohanni Brea <[email protected]> ", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120869/", "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/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/111/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71955, "title": "Markovian analysis of Zebrafish swimming", "slug": "markovian-analysis-of-zebrafish-swimming", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/markovian-analysis-of-zebrafish-swimming", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33263/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33263/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33263/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-10", "end_date": "2026-06-10", "start_time": "14:30:00", "end_time": "15:30:00", "description": "<strong>Abstract :</strong><br>\r\nIn this interactive Python tutorial, we will learn how Markovian frameworks can be used to analyze and model spontaneous locomotion from behavioral time series.
