Title: Learning for safety and coordination in uncertain dynamical systems
Abstract: Learning algorithms for sequential decision-making under uncertainty have been successful in challenging tasks such as games (chess, Atari) or online recommendation systems. Meanwhile, their applications to safety-critical systems such as human robot interactions remain limited. I will discuss my group’s work on addressing two challenges towards enabling learning systems for real-world dynamical system applications: safe learning and multi-agent learning. I will illustrate our theory and algorithms with applications arising in robotics and autonomous driving.
Bio: Maryam Kamgarpour holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley and a Bachelor of Applied Science from University of Waterloo, Canada. Her research is on safe decision-making and control under uncertainty, game theory and mechanism design, mixed integer and stochastic optimization and control. Her theoretical research is motivated by control challenges arising in intelligent transportation networks, robotics, power grid systems and healthcare. She is the recipient of NASA High Potential Individual Award, NASA Excellence in Publication Award, and the European Union (ERC) Starting Grant.
The Center for Intelligent Systems at EPFL (CIS) is a collaboration among IC, ENAC, SB; SV and STI that brings together researchers working on different aspects of Intelligent Systems.
In order to promote exchanges among researchers and encourage the creation of new, collaborative projects, CIS is organizing a "Get to know your neighbors" series. Each seminar will consist of one short overview presentation geared to the general public at EPFL.
The CIS seminar will take place In hybrid mode: Room INF 328 and by Zoom: https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64446116620
Please connect to your zoom account using your "@epfl.ch" address, as this live event is only open to the EPFL community
Monday, June 20th, 2022 from 3:15 to 4:15 pm
NB: Video recordings of the seminars will be made available on our website and published on our social media pages
