Title: Universal Algorithmic Intelligence Speaker: Dr. Marcus Hutter

Abstract: There is great interest in understanding and constructing generally intelligent systems approaching and ultimately exceeding human intelligence. Universal AI is such a mathematical theory of machine super-intelligence. More precisely, AIXI is an elegant parameter-free theory of an optimal reinforcement learning agent embedded in an arbitrary unknown environment that possesses essentially all aspects of rational intelligence. The theory reduces all conceptual AI problems to pure computational questions. After a brief discussion of its philosophical, mathematical, and computational ingredients, I will give a formal definition and measure of intelligence, which is maximized by AIXI. AIXI can be viewed as the most powerful Bayes-optimal sequential decision maker, for which I will present general optimality results. This also motivates some variations such as knowledge-seeking and optimistic agents, and feature reinforcement learning. Finally I present some recent approximations, implementations, and applications of this modern top-down approach to AI.

Mini biography: Marcus Hutter is Senior Staff Researcher at DeepMind and Professor in the RSCS at the Australian National University. He received his PhD and BSc in physics from the LMU in Munich and a Habilitation, MSc, and BSc in informatics from the TU Munich. Since 2000, his research at IDSIA and ANU and DeepMind has centered around the information-theoretic foundations of inductive reasoning and reinforcement learning, which has resulted in 200+ publications and several awards. His books on “Universal Artificial Intelligence” develop the first sound and complete theory of super-intelligent machines (ASI). He also runs the Human Knowledge Compression Contest (500'000€ H-prize). See http://www.hutter1.net/ for further information.
