Economics Behavioral, Econometrics and Theory Seminar: Roberto Corrao
Transform your workplace with practical AI skills. In an era of rapid digital change, non‑technical professionals need to know how to deploy AI tools and strategies efficiently—without needing to code. This specialization shows how you can streamline tasks like document and presentation creation, reporting, and project coordination using generative AI, intelligent agents, and automation. Speaker […]
Presenter: Loris D’Antoni, UC San Diego Abstract: Language models excel at producing fluent text, but in domains like code and math, fluency isn’t enough — outputs must obey strict syntactic and semantic rules. A new wave of research is rethinking decoding itself: not as a process of sampling words, but as a negotiation between probability, structure, and […]
How can flying robots help us track the air we breathe and the pollutants we can’t see? In this talk, Assistant Professor Javier González-Rocha will share how his team uses drones to measure wind patterns and detect airborne pollutants in hard-to-reach places.. These systems help us understand how toxic pollutants and climate emissions move through […]
