Computer Science PhD Social Lunch - Hosted by Teamcore
Fri, Mar 01, 2013 @ 12:00 PM - 01:30 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Student Activity
Please come and join us for a lunch on this Friday, March 1st, from 12:00-1:30pm, in SSL 150. This lunch is hosted by Milind Tambe's Teamcore group, where the students of the group will give a presentation on their area as well as the group's research. Abstract follows below.
All CS faculty, staff and PhD students are invited.
Please RSVP here by Wednesday, 02/27, 4pm.
Best Regards,
The PhD Students Committee
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Teamcore group is focused on research driven by real-world problems. Our roots are in Artificial Intelligence and within that areas of intelligent agents and multiagent systems and computational game theory: our research has dealt with systems where multiple intelligent agents interact, where these agents may be humans, software agents, virtual agents in simulations, virtual or real crowds, or robots. Given our focus on research inspired by real-world problems, typically problems of security, safety and sustainability, our collaborations cut across disciplinary boundaries. We have established strong collaborations with faculty members in Psychology, Operations Research, Civil and Environmental Engineering and several other departments at USC and elsewhere.
Key examples of this use-inspired research include our ARMOR, IRIS, GUARDS and PROTECT systems. While ARMOR is focused on a game-theoretic application for security scheduling at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), IRIS does game-theoretic scheduling for the FAMS (Federal Air Marshals service) and GUARDS for the TSA (Transportation Security Administration). PROTECT generates weighted randomized patrols and is used by the Coast Guard in the ports of Boston, New York and Los Angeles, and is currently scheduled to be used nationwide at all ports. In addition to these examples involving security, our research on sustainability involves both efficient allocation of resources for forest and fish protection as well as agent-assistants to help human reduce energy consumption. In this work, we created new algorithms for solving a class of game-theoretic games known as Stackelberg games to address efficiency concerns with existing techniques.
In this presentation, we will introduce the research field we are working on and the open problems in the field and briefly describe the applications we have developed and the underlying research over the past several years.Location: Seaver Science Library (SSL) - 150

Student Activity
Hey ASBMErs! The time has come to let out that midterm stress and have a friendly (but competitive ;) ) day of members-only paintball! We are unfortunately very limited with space so sign up fast! Please bring $15 to DRB and fill out one of the travel forms found at the front desk. (ASBME is covering the other $42 for our lovely members!) We will meet outside the front of RTH at 10 A.M. for this adventure! Sign up is in the ASBME Newsletter.
