I'm Alex Kearney, a PhD student studying Computer Science at the University of Alberta. I focus on Artificial Intelligence and Epistemology.
My labmate and I are heading to @CIFAR_News winter school on the neuroscience of consciousness and found a pepper robot in the wild (only one finger missing).
(I've never actually seen one practically put to use)
Today in grad-school: robot tea parties.
That feeling when you finish a semester and get back to living like a real human being 💀✨
Today in grad-school: French robots reciting Asimov's laws of robotics.
Today in grad-school: students pretending to be dolphins to understand actor-critic reinforcement learning.
