Unifying logic and probability: A “New Dawn” for Artificial Intelligence?

Stuart Russell is a Profesor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley and Adjunct Professor of Neurosurgery at UC San Francisco. He is currently visiting UPMC and holds the Chaire Blaise Pascal (*). His research covers many aspects of artificial intelligence and machine learning. He is a fellow of AAAI, ACM, and AAAS and winner of the IJCAI Computers and Thought Award. His book “Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach” (with Peter Norvig) is the standard text in the field.
(*) L'orateur est soutenu par, et cette présentation est donnée sous les auspices de, la Chaire Internationale de Recherche Blaise Pascal financée par l'État et la Région Île de France, gérée par la Fondation de l'École Normale Supérieure.

Logic and probability are ancient subjects whose unification holds significant potential for the field of artificial intelligence. A recent cover article in New Scientist went so far as to announce an “Intelligence Revolution” and a “New Dawn for AI”. This talk will explain some of the underlying technical ideas and their application.

About

Launched in 2012, the Colloquium d’Informatique de Sorbonne Université is a recurring event that invites major figures of the computer science field to give special lectures on the campus of Sorbonne University’s Science and Engineering Faculty. It targets a diverse yet technically-informed audience, and especially computer science researchers from all specialities, PhD students, and computer science students at master level.

The Colloquium’s main event is the invited speaker’s lecture, a 45-minute talk followed by questions and interactions with the audience. Generally, this lecture is associated with a masterclass reserved for PhD students from LIP6 and/or other labs.

As the main driving force behind to the steering committee, LIP6 oversees the Colloquium’s organisation, with occasional support from ISIR.
