DLS: Three Modern Roles for Logic in AI

28 Oct
Wednesday, 10/28/2020 4:00pm to 5:15pm
Virtual via Zoom
Distinguished Lecturer Series
Speaker: Adnan Darwiche
Abstract: I will discuss three modern roles for logic in artificial intelligence, which are based on the theory of tractable Boolean circuits: (1) logic as a basis for computation, (2) logic for learning from a combination of data and knowledge, and (3) logic for reasoning about the behavior of machine learning systems.
