PI Lecture

Rasha Abdel Rahman (Science of Intelligence), “How intelligent is visual perception?”

MAR 2.057

Abstract: Visual perception is shaped by the input from our physical environment and by expectations derived from our sensory experience with the visual world. But is what we see also influenced by higher cognitive capacities such as memories, language, semantic knowledge or (true or false) beliefs? And if so, what are the consequences on how

Jens Krause (Science of Intelligence), “Collective Behaviour and Collective Memory”

MAR 2.057

Abstract:  The idea that animal groups can have collective memories has been raised a number of times in different contexts. The information centre hypothesis predicts that communal roosts allow for information exchange between individuals so that successful foragers, for example, can be followed by others to promising sites. A different approach to collective memory has

Pawel Romanczuk (Science of Intelligence), “Collective behavior – quid est?”

MAR 2.057

Collective behavior is a generic term used across many different fields and context, and thus it can refer to very different kind of collective phenomena exhibited by animal and human collectives, such as collective locomotion, collective decision making or behavioral contagion processes. In this lecture, I will try to give a classification of different types

Jörg Raisch (Science of Intelligence), “Efficient and Privacy-Preserving Consensus in Multi-Agent Systems”

SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

Achieving consensus, i.e., agreeing on objectives and on relevant aspects of the environment, is a prerequisite whenever a group of individuals (“agents”) attempt to cooperatively solve a task. This requires information exchange between agents. In technical scenarios, information exchange is via wireless communication channels, which exhibit interference. Standard implementations aim at avoiding interference by resorting
