CS Colloq: Dr. Janusz Marecki
Mon, Aug 24, 2009 @ 03:00 PM - 04:30 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Time: 3 PM - 4:30 PMLocation: VKC 150Talk title: "A Quest for Intelligence: From Stochastic Optimization to Cortex Simulations"
Speaker: Dr. Janusz Marecki (IBM T.J. Watson Research Center)
Host: Prof. Milind TambeAbstract:
With the computational capacity of the world's supercomputers approaching the computational capacity of the human brain, we may be only at the beginning of an era of intelligent algorithms. In this talk I will summarize my quest for intelligent algorithms, focused on
(i) developing techniques for risk-sensitive, autonomous decision making in stochastic environments and (ii) deciphering the cortical algorithm and running it on massively-parallel architectures, to simulate the perception/cognition functions of the brain. I will conclude by proposing a set of measures, to make the deployed intelligent algorithms safer.Bio:
Janusz Marecki is currently a Research Staff Member in the Mathematical Sciences Department at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center and a visiting professor at the Academy of Computer Science in Poland.
He holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from University of Southern California and a DrSc in Mathematical Modeling from Institute of Information Infrastructure in Lviv. Janusz's research interests include decision/game theory, multiagent systems, neural networks and high-performance computing. He is an author of over 60 refereed publications and 2 patents.
