These sessions were prompted by the idea, discussed during previous seminar sessions, that a group might use a collective representation to interact with the environment. For example, in a colony of ants, the pheromone trail itself, as a dynamic pattern that grows and shrinks according to the interaction of the colony with the environment, might ...

Talk presented by Dr Ruth Hoffmann, followed by a group discussion. Abstract: Symbolic Reasoning (or Symbolic AI) consists of the logical modelling and an exhaustive search for definite solutions to problems. Whether that is finding the solution of a sudoku, finding an optimal route for delivery vehicles or creating kidney matching chains, symbolic AI and ...
Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) is a machine learning paradigm in which an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment to maximise cumulative reward. In recent years, RL has emerged as one of the most exciting and impactful areas of Artificial Intelligence. Its significance was underscored by the 2024 Turing Award awarded to ...
