• TILOS-SDSU Seminar: Distributionally Robust Optimization and Applications to Air Traffic Management

    Lamden Hall (LH) 247 San Diego State University, San Diego, CA, United States

    Max Z. Li, University of Michigan Abstract: Ground Delay Programs (GDPs) mitigate air traffic demand-capacity imbalances by holding flights on the ground at their origin airports when the destination airport's arrival capacity is reduced, thereby limiting costly airborne holding. A central challenge is that day-to-day demand-capacity balancing depends on accurate capacity predictions. In practice, however, […]

  • TILOS Seminar: What makes a good world model?

    Sanjay and Charlene Srivastava Multi-Purpose Room 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, United States

    Nicklas Hansen, New York University Abstract: World models are quickly becoming a central ingredient in systems for decision-making. However, several fundamental questions remain largely unresolved: what's the right learning objective, what's the right training data, and how do we evaluate the quality of a world model? In this talk, I will present a line of […]
