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, […]

Vernor Vinge Lecture Series on the Future of AI and Society with Ted Chiang: No Machine Has Passed the Turing Test

Halicioglu Data Science Institute Room 123 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, United States

It's now commonly asserted that the Turing Test is no longer a useful metric because current LLMs easily pass it. In this talk, Ted Chiang will offer a different interpretation of Turing's paper and what Turing actually meant by a thinking machine. Linguistic fluency of the type that Turing described is a very high bar, […]
