Registration is open for the next Tech Talk with R2, “Explainable Artificial Intelligence and the Rubik’s Cube”. Sponsored by the Network of the National Library of Medicine’s Region 2, the webinar will take place on Thursday, April 14, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM CDT. The instructor is Forest Agostinelli, Assistant Professor at the University of South Carolina. This webinar does not carry any CE credits. A description and the link to registration are below.
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) has allowed computers to learn to synthesize chemical compounds, fold proteins, and write code. However, these AI algorithms cannot explain the thought processes behind their decisions. Not only is explainable AI important for us to be able to trust it with delicate tasks such as surgery and disaster relief, but it could also help us obtain new insights and discoveries. In this talk, I will present DeepCubeA, an AI algorithm that can solve the Rubik’s cube, and six other puzzles, without human guidance. Next, I will discuss how we are building on this work to create AI algorithms that can both solve puzzles and explain their solutions in a manner that we can understand. Finally, I will discuss how this work relates to problems in the natural sciences.
