Dear all,

this is a reminder for Sebastian Trimpe's talk with the title "Event-Triggered Learning" taking place today at 12:30 in the B-IT room 5053.2. Please find the details below

--- Abstract --- The ability to learn is an essential aspect of autonomous systems facing uncertain and changing environments. However, the process of learning a new model or behavior often does not come for free, but involves a certain cost. For example, gathering informative data often means to deviate from normal operation, it may be challenging due to physical limitations, or updating models can require substantial computation. Hence, the question of "when to learn?" is essential for the efficient and persistent operation of autonomous systems.

In this talk, I will be discussing recent research on the concept of event-triggered learning (ETL), which we have proposed for making principled decisions on when to learn a new dynamics model or controller. We will present some specific trigger designs that trigger learning when needed, and also highlight experimental application leading to significant resource savings. Moreover, I will give a personal "historical" perspective and trace back, how our recent research was itself triggered by my own PhD research and papers. I will also dare to look into the future and discuss what potential "milestone" papers there might still be to come. ----------------

Part of the programme of the research training group UnRAVeL is a series of lectures on the topics of UnRAVeL’s research thrusts algorithms and complexity, verification, logic and languages, and their application scenarios. Each lecture is given by one of the researchers involved in UnRAVeL.

This years topic is "Biggest Milestones - Research at Its Peak", UnRAVeL professors will present the most important milestone of their respective research.

All interested doctoral researchers and master students are invited to attend the UnRAVeL lecture series 2023 and engage in discussions with researchers and doctoral students.

Next week, Nils Nießen is going to give a talk with the title "Can Trains Be on Time?" We are looking forward to seeing you at the lectures. Kind regards, Jan-Christoph for the organisation committee
