The Institute for Experiential AI (EAI) at Northeastern University is honored to welcome Yann LeCun, Chief AI Scientist at Meta AI (FAIR) for a hybrid talk about the future of machine learning on Wednesday, May 24, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. EST. 


In addition to his high-profile role at Meta AI, LeCun is also a Silver Professor at NY Silver Professor at NYU and a renowned expert in AI, machine learning, computer perception, robotics, and computational neuroscience. His talk, "From Machine Learning to Autonomous Intelligence," will address critical questions including: 


How could machines learn as efficiently as humans and animals? 

How could machines learn to reason and plan?

How could machines learn representations of percepts and action plans at multiple levels of abstraction, enabling them to reason, predict, and plan at multiple time horizons? 


LeCun will propose a possible path towards autonomous intelligent agents, based on a new modular cognitive architecture and a somewhat new self-supervised training paradigm. The centerpiece of the proposed architecture is a configurable predictive world model that allows the agent to plan. Behavior and learning are driven by a set of differentiable intrinsic cost functions. The world model uses a new type of energy-based model architecture called H-JEPA (Hierarchical Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture). H-JEPA learns hierarchical abstract representations of the world that are simultaneously maximally informative and maximally predictable. 


A special fireside chat with LeCun and Usama Fayyad, executive director at the Institute for Experiential AI, will directly follow the talk.
