Tuesday July 8

I'll be talking about the problem faced by a robot in learning about a new domain. We will consider a robot given the task of delivering mail to offices in a large office building and focus on the specific problem of learning a map of the building to make it easier to deliver the mail. We'll consider both the theoretical and practical side of learning and how the two sides interact. In particular, we'll ask the question "How much do you already have to know in order to learn something?" In exploring the issues raised by this question, we will consider the possibility that there are limits to what can be learned.

Other:

Students will work on a C program and finish up any unfinished projects.

At Nite: 7:30 PM - Lecture: Problem Solving (in Science and Math)
