SUMMARY:Florian Blume\, Martin Maier\, Doris Pischedda\, Olga Wudarczyk-Markett and Murat Kirtay (Science of Intelligence)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nSocial interaction and communication are supported by the integration of multimodal signals. One crucial social cue when interacting with other humans are facial expressions. In Project 8\, we study how people not only read information from faces\, but how they read meaning into faces based on context and prior knowledge. Incorporating sources of information in addition to what is actually visible (top-down processing) supports efficient\, robust\, context-adaptive visual perception. Neural networks designed to recognize facial expressions largely ignore such contextual information and are therefore inherently misaligned with human social perception. Closing this gap promises to make synthetic face processing at the same time more intelligent\, useful for human-machine interaction\, and ethically responsible. \nSuccessful social interaction relies on additional social factors and cognitive processes including partner co-representation (i.e.\, the representation of the partner’s actions alongside one’s own actions)\, emotion processing\, theory of mind (i.e.\, the ability to consider mental states – such as beliefs\, desires\, intentions – to predict people’s behaviour) and trust. In project 9\, we study processes underlying social communication in humans and assess potential changes in these processes when the interaction partner is an artificial agent. We use this knowledge to implement similar mechanisms in our robots and assess how this affects their performance along other dimensions\, such as trust or scaffolding. Our ultimate goal is to create robots with higher social intelligence that can interact smoothly with humans and other agents. \n  \n  \nPhoto by Yuyeung Lau on Unsplash

SUMMARY:Dafna Burema; Mattis Jacobs (Science of Intelligence)\, “Workshop: Discussing Ethically Problematic “Incidents” of AI Systems”
DESCRIPTION:(In-person talk at Science of Intelligence) \nWorkshop: Discussing ethically problematic “incidents” of AI systems \nIn the Thursday morning talk\, we discuss ethically problematic incidents of AI that we selected from the AIAAIC Repository. In total\, we discuss four cases. \nIn a first step\, we present a brief overview what occurred in the respective cases\, based on media coverage. The audience is then invited to give a briefly assess the case: what went wrong? Which ethical values or principles were involved? How could the incident have been prevented? Who is responsible for what has happened and who could have prevented it? \nIn a second step\, we present how the respective case was assessed in the ethics-related academic literature and compare the assessment of the participants with the expert’s assessment. We conclude by inviting the participants to reflect on their own projects and potential problematic outcomes of their research. \n\nPhoto by Ehud Neuhaus on Unsplah

SUMMARY:Thursday Morning Talk with Andrea Iannelli (ETHZ)\, "Learning and Controlling: Robustness\, Informativity and Adaptation"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe abundance of available data on the one hand\, and the increase in systems complexity caused by the need to cope with new challenging tasks on the other\, have put research on so-called learning and data-driven methods in the agenda of virtually every engineering field. Control theory is no exception. In fact\, some of its traditional fields have close connections with open problems in data science\, such as system identification (with regression and classification) and adaptive and stochastic optimal control (with reinforcement learning). The first part of the talk will give an overview of our ongoing work on basic research problems at the intersection between control theory and learning. This will be followed by a more detailed discussion on two projects that investigate the problem of controlling unknown dynamical systems from different perspectives. One blends behavioral system theory\, which sees dynamical systems as sets of trajectories\, and system identification\, concerned with identifying models from data using statistical and information theoretic tools. The other frames it as an optimal control problem and proposes a robust adaptive model predictive control with active learning components to address the tension between exploration and exploitation. A discussion on the current limitations\, future extensions\, and foreseeable challenges will conclude the talk. \n  \nPhoto by Markus Spiske on Unsplash

SUMMARY:Nicolas Roth\, Aravind Battaje\, Adrian Sieler and Vincent Wall (Science of Intelligence)\, "Integration Hackathons for Behavior 1"
DESCRIPTION:A cornerstone of SCIoI are the three example behaviors that provide the motivation\, as well as the demonstration platforms to showcase the amazing research happening within the cluster. In order to get the ball rolling towards interesting example behaviors\, we have recently started regular “integration hackathon” meetings. They bring together people from different projects\, who identify achievable first integration steps\, and just start putting things together. \nIn this talk\, Nico from P1\, Aravind from P2\, and Adrian and Vincent from P17 will present this process. We will show the Behavior 1 escape room component that we selected for our first integration attempts\, explain which different research components come together to create the combined behavior\, and share some insights and observations we made along the way. In the end\, we hope to encourage everybody in SCIoI to think about integration steps and motivate people to get involved in the exciting\, rewarding (and necessary!) integration efforts for the example behaviors. \n
