Hi all,
in view of the theory colloquium at 16:45 (see http://www.theorycolloquium.phys.ethz.ch/), tomorrow's group meeting will start at 15:30 in J52.
We'll hear from Vedran Dunjko from University of Innsbruck. Here's the title and abstract:
Title: "Projective simulation for artificial intelligence and quantum enhancements for learning agents"
Abstract:
Can quantum mechanics help in building intelligent robots and agents? In this talk, I will briefly reflect on the interplay between the field of artificial intelligence and quantum information. Following this, I will present Projective Simulation, a novel framework for the design of learning agents. I will demonstrate that quantum physics can indeed help and provide a significant speed-up for active learning, a genuine problem of artificial intelligence, for a broad class of Projective simulation agents. This result can be particularly relevant for applications involving unknown and complex task environments. The talk will be given at an informal level, accessible to a broad audience.
Best,
-joe
