SUMMARY:Milagros Miceli\, “Transparency for Whom? Designing Data Documentation With Data Workers”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  \nThe opacity of datasets poses a significant challenge to creating inclusive and intelligible machine learning (ML) systems. Various AI ethics initiatives have addressed this issue by proposing standardized dataset documentation frameworks based on the value of transparency.  In this talk\, I propose a shift of perspective: from documenting for transparency to documenting for reflexivity. Based on a long-term project with outsourced data workers in Argentina\, Bulgaria and Syria\, I argue for the need of designing documentation starting from the needs and experience of the workers who collect\, sort\, and label the data that trains ML models. This requires considering the historical inequalities\, working conditions\, and epistemological standpoints that shape both data work and datasets. \nThis talk will take place in person at SCIoI. \nPhoto by Hunter Harritt on Unsplash \n  \n

SUMMARY:Oussama Zenkri and Florian Bolenz (Science of Intelligence)\, "Complex Behavior From Simple Strategies"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nIn our project\, we explore the idea that complex\, intelligent behavior can be generated by selecting from simple strategies in a smart way. In the first part\, we will talk about how we tested this idea of strategy selection in the context of human decision making under risk\, and we will discuss the potential and remaining challenges of this approach. In the second part\, we will move to more complex behavior and present a lockbox-like task that we have designed to investigate strategy learning and strategy selection in human exploration behavior. \nThis talk will take place in person at SCIoI. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Ulrike Scherer and Sean Ehlman (Science of Intelligence)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nCollective dynamics play a crucial role in everyday decision-making. Whether social influence promotes the spread of accurate information and ultimately results in collective intelligence or leads to false information cascades and maladaptive social contagion depends on the cognitive mechanisms underlying social interactions. \nThis talk will take place in person at SCIoI. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften 2023 - Mohsen Raoufi\, "Meet the Swarm Robots"
DESCRIPTION:Swarms\, such as schools of fish\, and flocks of birds\, have shown a great capability of solving complex problems in nature. Such examples are bees finding the best nest site\, or fish escaping from a predator. In this demostration Mohsen Raoufi\, at the Swarm Robotics Lab of SCIoI\, will demonstrate how a swarm of robots can solve problems\, make accurate decisions\, and perform tasks collectively using bio-inspired algorithms.

SUMMARY:Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften 2023 - The wandering eye: An experiment on visual search
DESCRIPTION:We constantly move our eyes\, approximately three times per second\, and even more if we search for something. We do this to place individual objects into the region where we see with highest resolution\, the fovea. But can you still find a target if you can not see with your fovea? Or what about if you only see with the fovea\, and not in the periphery? Come find out! The demonstration will be given by Nicolas Roth.

SUMMARY:Mohsen Raoufi (Science of Intelligence)\, From State Estimation to Collective Estimation\, and from Individuality to Complexity in Swarm Robotic Systems
DESCRIPTION:Using swarm optimization algorithms as heuristic solutions in various engineering problems\, including the state estimation of nonlinear systems\, has been an inspiration to me for my SCIoI project. We started our project by studying the “Wisdom of Crowds” effect\, i.e. the notion that the average of many imperfect estimations\, under the right conditions\, can potentially yield a perfect estimation. However\, achieving an accurate estimation in a distributed manner requires individuals to finely balance many tradeoffs\, e.g. the exploration-exploitation trade-off. In addition to discussing a few of these tradeoffs in my talk\, I will demonstrate how the interaction of agents leads to more complex behavior\, particularly when the connectivity of the communication network is limited. For instance\, this limitation results in the emergence of “echo-chambers” in the collectives. \nIn the second part\, I will talk about the inter-individual variations we observed during real robot experiments with Kilobots. This side project opened up a new dimension to the complexity of the individual and collective behaviors in swarm robotic systems. \nThis talk will take place in person at SCIoI. \nPhoto by Alina Grubnyak on Unsplash \n

SUMMARY:Jörg Raisch (Science of Intelligence)\, "Efficient Consensus over Wireless Channels & and its Use in Traffic Automation Problems"
DESCRIPTION:Consensus algorithms are routinely employed in a variety of multi-agent scenarios. They require that each agent iteratively evaluates a multivariate function of its neighbours’ information states. If a wireless communication channel is used\, this is typically implemented through protocols (such as TDMA – Time Division Multiple Access) that avoid superposition of transmitted signals by assigning each transmitter its own (time) slot.However\, consensus only requires that agents know a function of their neighbours’ information states\, not the individual information states. Hence one may ask whether using the famous Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem might allow to exploit the channel’s superposition property to drastically reduce communication effort. Kolmogorov-Arnold essentially states that every continuous multivariate function can be expressed via univariate functions and addition. If channel superposition were to be considered as addition\, all agents could consequently simultaneously transmit a suitably preprocessed version of their information state\, with receiving agents locally postprocessing the received superposition signal.\nWe will explain for two widely used consensus types (average consensus and max-consensus) why in practice the application of Kolmogorov-Arnold is notquite as straightforward. For both consensus types\, we will suggest alternative approaches\, which make use of the channel’s superposition property whilehandling non-ideality effects such as time-varying unknown channel coefficients. By allowing all agents to transmit at the same time\, the required number oftransmission slots is considerably reduced. In the second part of the talk\, we will demonstrate how average and max-consensus algorithms can be used in various traffic automation scenarios. This includes platooning\, distributed automatic lane changing\, and distributed automation of traffic intersections.

SUMMARY:Michael Taborsky\, "The Evolution of Social Behaviour"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe social structure and behaviour of organisms is highly divergent. How can this stunning diversity in nature be explained? I will argue that a few key principles are responsible for the evolution of social behaviour\, with all its simple and complex manifestations. Organisms compete for resources. As survival and reproduction require resources and only fiction knows a land of milk and honey\, different individuals inevitably compete due to their own diverging fitness interests. To succeed in the competition for resources\, organisms may either “race” to be quicker than others\, “fight” for privileged access\, or “share” their efforts and gains. In this talk\, I attempt to show how the ecology and intrinsic attributes of organisms select for each of these strategies. My special emphasis will be on the evolution of cooperation\, with examples including a range of different taxa. Here the crucial question is how the conflict of fitness interests can be mediated to allow competitors for resources to unite and benefit from collective goal pursuit. \nThis talk will take place in person at SCIoI. \nPhoto by Torsten Dederichs on Unsplash \n
