Join the department of Computer Science as we welcome Mohit Bansal, UNC Chapel Hill, who will deliver a lecture on "Planning Agents for Collaborative Reasoning and Multimodal Generation."

Reception to follow.

Abstract: In this talk, I will present our journey of developing diverse, adaptive, uncertainty-calibrated AI planning agents that can robustly communicate and collaborate for multi-agent reasoning (on math, commonsense, coding, etc.) as well as for interpretable, controllable multimodal generation (across text, images, videos, audio, layouts, etc.).

Bio: Dr. Mohit Bansal is the John R. & Louise S. Parker Distinguished Professor and the Director of the MURGe-Lab (UNC-NLP Group) in the Computer Science department at UNC Chapel Hill. He received his PhD from UC Berkeley in 2013 and his BTech from IIT Kanpur in 2008. His research expertise is in natural language processing and multimodal machine learning, with a particular focus on multimodal generative models, grounded and embodied semantics, faithful language generation, and interpretable, efficient, and generalizable deep learning.
