BME/Genomics Seminar: Supervised and Unsupervised DeepGene Finding and Genome Foundation Models

Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz

Presenter: Mario Stanke, Professor of Bioinformatics, University of Greifswald Description: This talk will explore recent machine learning approaches for eukaryotic genome annotation. Our supervised ab initio deep gene finder, Tiberius, correctly predicts more than four times as many human protein-coding gene structures as its father, Augustus, and in some clades, it approaches the accuracy of […]

Burbano, L. (CS) – Security of autonomous decision-making agents: From control systems to embodied AI

Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz
Hybrid Event

Due to their increasing complexity, autonomous decision-making agents rely on increasingly advanced algorithms, from classical control theory to reinforcement learning (RL) and, more recently, large vision-language models. While these algorithms help automate the decision-making in complex systems, they bring newer attack vulnerabilities that an adversary can exploit. In this dissertation, we study the security of […]
