Meta-learning for scalable multi-objective Bayesian optimization

Jiarong Pan PhD at Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence Abstract: Many real-world applications consider multiple objectives, potentially competing ones. For instance, for a model deciding whether to grant or deny loans, ensuring accurate while fair decisions is critical. Multi-objective Bayesian optimization (MOBO) is a sample-efficient technique for optimizing an expensive black-box function across multiple objectives.

Using robustness distributions to better understand fairness in Neural Net-works

Annelot Bosman PhD at Universiteit Leiden This project aims to investigate fairness from a new perspect- ive, namely by using robustness distributions, introduced in previous work. Investig- ating robustness in neural networks is very computationally expensive and as such the community has directed focus on increasing verification speed. Robustness distributions, although expensive to obtain, have

Translating between AI Evaluation and Job Tasks in the human workplace for trustworthy and reliable AI deployment

Marko Tesic Post-doc at LCFI, University of Cambridge, UK Recent advancements in AI, particularly in language modeling, have rekindled concerns about the potential automation of certain roles within the human workforce. To better understand which roles are susceptible to automation and to ensure the trustworthy and reliable deployment of AI, I aim to establish a

Evaluation of cognitive capabilities for LLMs

Lorenzo Pacchiardi Post-doc at University of Cambridge Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems (such as reinforcement-learning agents and Large Language Models, or LLMs) are typically evaluated by testing them on a benchmark and reporting an aggregated score. As benchmarks are constituted of instances demanding various capability levels to be completed, the aggregated score is uninformative of the

Large Language Models for Media and Democracy: Wrecking or Saving Society?

Davide Ceolin, Piek Vossen, Ilia Markov, Catholijn Jonker, Pradeep Murukannaiah Senior Researcher (Ceolin), Full Professor (Vossen, Jonker), Assistant Professor (Markov, Murukannaiah) Over the past years, foundational models, including large-language models and multi-modal systems, have significantly advanced the possibilities regarding the understanding, analysis, and generation of human language. However, from the extensive and widespread use of

Multi-agent scheduling in a human-robot collaborative warehouse

Bram Renting PhD at Leiden University, Delft University of Technology In cooperative multi-agent environments, agents can be interdependent in completing tasks. We consider environments where agents schedule future interactions with others they depend on to perform the task. More specifically, our project focuses on human-robot warehouses where humans pick products from shelves and robots transport
