 3. Attend this Dissertation Talk: Towards Trustworthy Machine Learning

Nov 23 at 1 a.m.-12 p.m. Location: UC Berkeley and Zoom.  Speaker: Adam Gleave, PhD Candidate, UC Berkeley.  Sponsor: Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS)

Machine learning has made remarkable progress towards building automated systems that achieve high average-case performance on procedurally specified objectives. However, real-world tasks often have complex objectives that are difficult to specify procedurally, and safety-critical tasks often demand worst-case guarantees. In this talk, I will first discuss how agent objectives can be inferred from human feedback, with a focus on how to test and validate the learned objective. I will then introduce methods for adversarially testing agents, concluding with methods to make agents more robust.
