Stochastic dynamics in curbside operations: Pricing, facility design, and access control
ESD Research Seminar by Liu Xinyu, Cindy – This talk presents rigorous, practical frameworks using continuous-time Markov decision processes (MDPs) and game-theoretic queues.
Gen AI, agentic AI, and the new technical reality for data scientists
ISTD COIL Seminar by Carlos Queiroz – This is not a talk about hype. It is about what is changing technically, what skills are becoming more valuable, and how students should adapt.
"Acclimations" Civic adaptation with climate changes
Join us for an evening with Dominique Cécile Jakob — award‑winning architect and co‑founder of the Paris‑based practice JAKOB+MACFARLANE.
A behavioural model for exploration vs exploitation: Theoretical framework and experimental evidence
ESD Research Seminar by Yifan Feng – How do people navigate the exploration-exploitation (EE) trade-off when making repeated choices with unknown rewards? We study this question through the lens of multi-armed bandit problems and introduce a novel behavioural model, Quantal Choice with Adaptive Reduction of Exploration (QCARE).
What can quantum AI learn from biological intelligence?
ESD Research Seminar by Thiparat Chotibut – Designing scalable quantum machine learning (QML) models with potential quantum advantage on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices remains a major challenge.
