  • TILOS Seminar: Large Datasets and Models for Robots in the Real World

    Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI), Room 123, 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, 92093, United States

    Abstract: Recent progress in AI can be attributed to the emergence of large models trained on large datasets. However, teaching AI agents to reliably interact with our physical world has proven challenging, which is in part due to a lack of large and sufficiently diverse robot datasets. In this talk, I will cover ongoing efforts of the Open X-Embodiment project–a collaboration between 279 researchers across 20+ institutions–to build a large, open dataset for real-world robotics, and discuss how this new paradigm is rapidly changing the field. Concretely, I will discuss why we need large datasets in robotics, what such datasets may look like, and how large models can be trained and evaluated effectively in a cross-embodiment cross-environment setting. Finally, I will conclude the talk by sharing my perspective on the limitations of current embodied AI agents, as well as how to move forward as a community.

  • Paths to AI Accountability | Sarah H. Cen

    Special Seminar Series
    Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI), Room 123, 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, 92093, United States

    Speaker: Sarah H. Cen Abstract: We have begun grappling with difficult questions related to the rise of AI, including: What rights do individuals have in the age of AI? When should we regulate AI and when should we abstain? What degree of transparency is needed to monitor AI systems? These questions are all concerned with AI accountability: determining who owes responsibility and to whom in […]

  • Forecasting the Antibody Response against the Influenza Virus | Tal Einav

    Special Seminar Series
    Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI), Room 123, 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, 92093, United States

    Abstract: Although influenza is one of the best-studied viruses, vaccine effectiveness remains around 20-50%. A sizable fraction of people exhibit a weak or short-lived antibody response following vaccination, yet we cannot identify these individuals a priori nor ascertain whether a different vaccine would have served them better. In this talk, we demonstrate how machine learning can […]
