We introduce a framework so that communities can exchange reputation information about agents in environments where agents are migrating between communities.

It is known that the nonparametric minimax rate for regression in the active and passive settings are the same for various smoothness classes. In this talk, I will look into the simpler problem when the regression domain is finite, but the response variance is location dependent, i.e., the noise is heteroscedastic.

Speaker: Meinolf Sellmann, Brown University

When dealing with real-world optimization problems, we frequently face complicated side constraints which are hard to formulate in integer programming and constraint programming.

Speaker: Tyrel Russell

This talk will have two parts. The first part will be a short talk on the work that I will be presenting at CPAIOR this year.

Speaker: Fabien Benureau

Poker research has made great progress recently, and is constantly searching for smarter way to computers play poker.

Speaker: George Chalkiadakis, University of Southampton

In multiagent domains, agents form coalitions to perform tasks. The usual models of cooperative game theory assume that the desired outcome is either the grand coalition or a coalition structure that consists of disjoint coalitions (i.e., a partition of the set of agents).

Speaker: Omar Zia Khan

Explaining policies of Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) is complicated due to their probabilistic and sequential nature. We present a technique to explain policies for factored MDP by populating a set of domain-independent templates.

Speaker: Zinovi Rabinovich, University of Southampton, U.K.

Egocentric Perceptual Control (EPC) is characterised by the optimality criteria and the control task being formulated in terms of the agent's perceptions.

Speaker: Holger Hoos, the University of British Columbia

We live in interesting times - as individuals, as members of various communities and organisations, and as inhabitants of planet Earth, we face many challenges, ranging from climate change to resource limitations, from market risks and uncertainties to complex diseases.
