The complexity of many tasks arising in these domains makes them difficult to solve with preprogrammed agent behaviors. The agents must instead discover a solution on their own, using learning. A significant part of the research on multi-agent learn- ing concerns reinforcement learning techniques. This chapter reviews a representa- tive selection of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) algorithms for fully cooperative, fully competitive, and more general (neither cooperative nor competi- tive) tasks. The benefits and challenges of MARL are described. A central challenge in the field is the formal statement of a multi-agent learning goal; this chapter re- views the learning goals proposed in the literature. -
Artificial Intelligence/Artificial Wisdom
Artificial Intelligence/Artificial Wisdom - A Drive for Improving Behavioral and Mental Health Care (06 September to 10 September 2021) Department of Computer Science & Information Technology Central University of Jammu, J&K-181143 Preamble An Artificial Intelligence is the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behaviour. Machine learning is based on the idea that machines should be able to learn and adapt through experience. Machine learning is a subset of AI. That is, all machine learning counts as AI, but not all AI counts as machine learning. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology holds both great promises to transform mental healthcare and potential pitfalls. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly employed in healthcare fields such as oncology, radiology, and dermatology. However, the use of AI in mental healthcare and neurobiological research has been modest. Given the high morbidity and mortality in people with psychiatric disorders, coupled with a worsening shortage of mental healthcare providers, there is an urgent need for AI to help identify high-risk individuals and provide interventions to prevent and treat mental illnesses. According to the publication Spectrum News, a form of AI called "deep learning" is sometimes better able than human beings to spot relevant patterns. This five days course provides an overview of AI approaches and current applications in mental healthcare, a review of recent original research on AI specific to mental health, and a discussion of how AI can supplement clinical practice while considering its current limitations, areas needing additional research, and ethical implications regarding AI technology. The proposed workshop is envisaged to provide opportunity to our learners to seek and share knowledge and teaching skills in cutting edge areas from the experienced and reputed faculty. -

Machine Guessing – I
Machine Guessing { I David Miller Department of Philosophy University of Warwick COVENTRY CV4 7AL UK e-mail: [email protected] ⃝c copyright D. W. Miller 2011{2018 Abstract According to Karl Popper, the evolution of science, logically, methodologically, and even psy- chologically, is an involved interplay of acute conjectures and blunt refutations. Like biological evolution, it is an endless round of blind variation and selective retention. But unlike biological evolution, it incorporates, at the stage of selection, the use of reason. Part I of this two-part paper begins by repudiating the common beliefs that Hume's problem of induction, which com- pellingly confutes the thesis that science is rational in the way that most people think that it is rational, can be solved by assuming that science is rational, or by assuming that Hume was irrational (that is, by ignoring his argument). The problem of induction can be solved only by a non-authoritarian theory of rationality. It is shown also that because hypotheses cannot be distilled directly from experience, all knowledge is eventually dependent on blind conjecture, and therefore itself conjectural. In particular, the use of rules of inference, or of good or bad rules for generating conjectures, is conjectural. Part II of the paper expounds a form of Popper's critical rationalism that locates the rationality of science entirely in the deductive processes by which conjectures are criticized and improved. But extreme forms of deductivism are rejected. The paper concludes with a sharp dismissal of the view that work in artificial intelligence, including the JSM method cultivated extensively by Victor Finn, does anything to upset critical rationalism. -

This workshop will examine the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to predict failures and to use this capability in the maintenance and operation of robust systems. The workshop comprises four sessions examining the technical foundations of artificial intelligence and machine learning to 1) Examine operational data for failure indicators 2) Understand the causes of the potential failure 3) Deploy these systems “at the edge” with real-time inference and continuous learning, and 4) Incorporate these capabilities into robust system design and operation. The workshop will also include an additional session open to attendees for “flash” presentations that address the conference theme.

Artificial Intelligence and National Security
Artificial Intelligence and National Security Artificial intelligence will have immense implications for national and international security, and AI’s potential applications for defense and intelligence have been identified by the federal government as a major priority. There are, however, significant bureaucratic and technical challenges to the adoption and scaling of AI across U.S. defense and intelligence organizations. Moreover, other nations—particularly China and Russia—are also investing in military AI applications. As the strategic competition intensifies, the pressure to deploy untested and poorly understood systems to gain competitive advantage could lead to accidents, failures, and unintended escalation. The Bipartisan Policy Center and Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET), in consultation with Reps. Robin Kelly (D-IL) and Will Hurd (R-TX), have worked with government officials, industry representatives, civil society advocates, and academics to better understand the major AI-related national and economic security issues the country faces. This paper hopes to shed more clarity on these challenges and provide actionable policy recommendations, to help guide a U.S. national strategy for AI. BPC’s effort is primarily designed to complement the work done by the Obama and Trump administrations, including President Barack Obama’s 2016 The National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan,i President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 13859, announcing the American AI Initiative,ii and the Office of Management and Budget’s subsequentGuidance for Regulation of Artificial Intelligence Applications.iii The effort is also designed to further June 2020 advance work done by Kelly and Hurd in their 2018 Committee on Oversight 1 and Government Reform (Information Technology Subcommittee) white paper Rise of the Machines: Artificial Intelligence and its Growing Impact on U.S.
