In this meeting of the AI Seminar Series, Dr. Tim Miller will talk to us about common ground in teams!

Title: Common ground in teams

Speaker: Dr. Tim Miller

When: Tuesday, 15th April 11 AM - 12 NOON

Where: Doug McDonnell-10.05

Abstract:
In this talk, I will discuss: what it means for teams of individuals to share a common ground, why it is important when completing joint activities, and how we can define a computational model of it. The purpose of this work is to help design the next generation of autonomous systems, which will be required to work closely with humans. The talk is mostly philosophy, a bit of computer science, and a bit of logic. No prior knowledge about these topics is assumed, but you will learn something about each of them.
