DESCRIPTION:Where: CS2A\, Computer Science building\n\nSpeaker: Jonas Hald
 imann\n\nTitle:\n\nReasoning in Defeasible Description Logics with System 
 W and\nLexicographic Entailment\n\nAbstract:\n\nDescription logics (DLs) h
 ave many uses in AI and database\napplications but\, like other classical 
 logics\, they are unable to deal\nappropriately with defeasible informatio
 n. In their 2021 paper\, Britz\net al. developed a framework for defeasibl
 e DLs\, allowing for\nreasoning with a combination of defeasible inclusion
 s and classical\nALC inclusions. Their framework is a version of rational 
 closure\, a\nform of defeasible reasoning initially developed for a propos
 itional\nsetting\, that they adapted to the description logic case. In thi
 s\npaper we extend the approach by Britz et al. by adapting two\nadditiona
 l forms of reasoning to defeasible DLs: System W and\nlexicographic closur
 e. Both are established forms of entailment for\npropositional defeasible 
 reasoning and have been shown to satisfy a\nnumber of favourable propertie
 s. For each of these we present a\nmodel-based definition\, investigate th
 eir basic behaviour by\nestablishing the connection to the respective prop
 ositional versions\,\nand provide algorithms for computing them.\n\nBiogra
 phy:\n\nDr. Jonas Philipp Haldimann is a Junior Research Fellow at the\nUn
 iversity of Cape Town\, where his research focuses on artificial\nintellig
 ence with an emphasis on nonmonotonic reasoning (NMR) and\nknowledge repre
 sentation (KR). He earned his doctorate from the\nFernUniversität in Hage
 n (Germany) for his award-winning thesis\nregarding nonmonotonic reasoning
  with defeasible (propositional)\nrules. Besides his research\, Jonas is a
 n active member of the KR\nresearch community\, regularly serving as a pro
 gram committee member\nfor leading conferences and organizing the NMR onli
 ne seminar.\nRecently\, his work has expanded to include defeasible descri
 ption\nlogics\, which includes the work presented in this talk.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Malcolm Hillebrand\n\nTitle: Active Turbulence: When 
 biology causes chaos\, and using the\nPower of the GPU (TM) to tackle it\n
 \nAbstract: Turbulence is a familiar problem to many\, both in scientific\
 nresearch and in trying to cross a windy bridge. However\, in the last\ntw
 o decades\, a series of surprising discoveries have uncovered a new\nkind 
 of turbulence that does not require pumping wind or rapid pipe\nflow: Acti
 ve turbulence. First observed in swarming bacteria\, this\nphenomenon desc
 ribes the chaotic flows seen at extremely small scales\n(near zero Reynold
 s number or flow speeds). As more biological and\nartificial systems are s
 hown to exhibit active turbulence\, the\ninterest in theoretical and compu
 tational modelling has grown\ncommensurately. Here I will present a minima
 l model of active\nturbulence that reproduces flow patterns seen in kinesi
 n-microtubule\nsuspensions (which resemble the surface of a cell)\, and di
 scuss the\ntransition to turbulence in this model and the computational as
 pects\nthat go into this -- data analysis and visualisation\, and CUDA\nim
 plementation of an implicit PDE solving scheme for accurate\nlong-time sim
 ulations. The physics and maths will be largely fun and\ninformal\, with a
  bit more detail on the computing side.\n\nBiography: Malcolm is a lecture
 r in the Department of Mathematics and\nApplied Mathematics at UCT. He com
 pleted his PhD in computational and\ntheoretical nonlinear dynamics applie
 d to polyatomic systems at UCT in\n2020. He went on to do a joint postdoc 
 with the Maths Department and\nthe Scientific Computing Research Unit at U
 CT in dynamics of chemical\nreactions\, followed by two years at the Max P
 lanck Institute for the\nPhysics of Complex Systems and the Center for Sys
 tems Biology Dresden\,\nworking on active turbulence and the interface of 
 nonlinear dynamics\nand biophysics. More research details can be found at

  (AI)\, particularly Generative ArtificialIntelligence (GAI)\, has profoun

 opportunities to enhanceproductivity\, potentially offsetting the societal
  risks they pose.This study aims to assess whether GAI contributes to sati

 oductivity gains\, human flourishing and reduced frustration whenusing GAI
 . We recruited 218 participants from Orange\, (a French globalcompany)\, a
 nd conducted weekly questionnaires (over 10-weeks) ofsoftware developers u

  the use of GitHub Copilot by thesoftware developers. Our findings show th

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jonathan Shock\n\nTitle: The past\, present and futur
 e of AI at UCT\n\nAbstract:\n\nIn this seminar\, I will discuss the work u
 ndertaken over the last year\nby a large group of people to set up an AI I
 nstitute at UCT\, and I\nwill discuss the future plans for this large Univ
 ersity focus. I will\ntalk about where we currently stand in the AI landsc
 ape\, and the\nopportunities we have to become a true continental leader i
 n AI for\nsocial good. A part of the seminar will also cover existing\nopp
 ortunities within the University for integrating AI into research\nworkflo
 ws\, which arose from a short internship at the African\nMicroscopy Instit
 ute.\n\nBiography:\n\nJonathan Shock is an Associate Professor in the Depa
 rtment of Maths\nand Applied Maths at the University of Cape Town\, where 
 I direct the\nUCT AI Initiative. I am also an Adjunct Professor at INRS Mo
 ntréal.\nMy work spans theoretical physics\, reinforcement learning\, and
 \ncomputational neuroscience\, with a focus on understanding intelligence\
 nas a dynamical and physical process. I am particularly interested in\nrei
 nforcement learning\, multi-agent systems\, and theory-driven AI for\nscie
 nce. Much of my research explores how mathematical structure —\nfrom sta
 tistical mechanics to dynamical systems — can inform the\ndesign and ana
 lysis of learning systems.  I completed my PhD at the\nUniversity of Sout
 hampton in 2005 on applications of string theory to\nquantum chromodynamic
 s\, followed by postdoctoral appointments in\nBeijing\, Santiago de Compos
 tela\, and Munich before joining UCT in\n2013.  I supervise across mathem
 atics\, machine learning\, and\ninterdisciplinary AI\, and am deeply commi
 tted to teaching and building\nresearch capacity.
