We are excited to announce the Third Symposium on Algorithmic Information Theory and Machine Learning this July 27 – 29 at the University of Oxford! See the details here: https://sites.google.com/site/boumedienehamzi/third-symposium-on-machine-learning-and-algorithmic-information-theory The third iteration of the symposium is particularly focused on applications of AIT to the theory and practice of AI safety. AIXI has long been…

Aram Ebtekar returns to give his second talk at the regular UAI research meetings this Monday (3 pm EDT on April 6th at the regular zoom link), this time on an exciting new AI safety protocol analyzed rigorously in the AIXI setting. Title: Golden Handcuffs make safer AI agents Abstract: Reinforcement learners often find novel…

Yegon Kim will present tomorrow, Monday March 23rd at 3 pm EDT on a model-free universal artificial intelligence: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.23242 We will use the regular zoom link. Bio: Yegon Kim is a PhD student researching AI at KAIST. Yegon also has an interesting blog/personal website here: https://yegonkim.github.io/ Abstract: In general reinforcement learning, all established optimal agents,…

Professor Anders Christian Hansen will discuss his work on the “Consistent Reasoning Paradox” at an extra research meeting tomorrow, Monday March 16th at 3 pm EDT. We will use the usual zoom link. I am a priori skeptical that logical paradoxes block AGI e.g. the Penrose-Lucas argument seems (especially) confused from the deep learning perspective,…

Dr. Tom F. Sterkenburg will present a rigorous critique of Solomonoff induction at the UAI regular research meeting on Monday, March 9th, at 1:15 pm EST rather than the usual 3 pm EST. We will use the usual zoom link. Sterkenburg is Emmy Noether junior group leader at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP,…

Marta Kryven will present on approximate Bayesian inference for problem-solving domains at the UAI research meeting tomorrow, Monday February 23rd at 3 pm EST. We will use the regular zoom link. Abstract: Bayesian Inference and Optimal Experiment Design provide a general case optimal theoretical framework for how to build world models and interpret evidence. However,…

Dr. Marc Finzi will discuss his work on computationally bounded information theory (“epiplexity”) at this week’s regular research meeting, Monday February 9th at 3 pm ET (at the regular zoom link). Details below. Bio:Marc Finzi is a Research Scientist at OpenAI. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from New York University for work on…

Marcus Hutter will answer any lingering questions on “An Introduction to Universal Artificial Intelligence” at the final meeting of the reading group on Monday, Jan 26th at 12 pm EST = 5 pm GMT. The zoom link is (as usual): https://uwaterloo.zoom.us/j/7921763961?pwd=TDatET6CBu47o4TxyNn9ccL2Ia8HN4.1 Note that the Australasian reading group is several chapters behind and still running.
