Knowledge and common knowledge in multi-agent systems

Speaker:

Joseph Halpern
Professor of Computer Science
Joseph C. Ford Professor of Engineering
Cornell College of Engineering
Professor of Mathematics
Cornell College of Arts and Science
See the detailed biography at Cornell Business faculty’s page.

VinUniversity and CECS are pleased to announce a lecture series by Professsor Joseph Halpern from Cornell University who is an expert on the logic behind the math of everyday events.

This 3-part lecture series includes some fascinating insights on game theory, the uncertainty that rules our daily life and to which extent common knowledge affects our decisions. The talks are appropriate for a general audience since it does not require knowledge in mathematics. Thus, whether a high school or university student, or a distinguished professor, everyone will learn something new. The only thing you need to bring with you is your curiosity. Part of the talk is interactive, so you will have the chance to actively participate, in an effort to give answers to fundamental philosophical and practical questions.

Research Seminar: Learning for Safety and Control in Dynamical Systems – Dr. Geir E. Dullerud, University of Illinois

About the Seminar In this talk AI-based methods have tremendous potential for impacting the performance of autonomous aerospace and robotic systems. Such systems include drones, ground- and water-based vehicles, and limbed robots for instance. A barrier to the wide deployment of AI-powered methods in such applications is the risk or unpredictability of algorithm performance. In […]

Research Seminar: How Linear Algebra and Optimization Is Useful for Power Industry – Dr. Riadh Zorgati

 About the Seminar In this talk, we illustrate how linear algebra and optimization, with continuous or binary variables, is useful for power industry, for example for improving maintenance of power plants or for energy management. Optimization under constraints is a key approach for energy management where we aim at minimizing costs of production while respecting […]
