  Washington DC (SPX) Jun 07, 2022 Despite recent improvements to machine learning (ML) algorithms and assurance technologies, high levels of autonomy still remain elusive. The reasons for this are twofold. First, data-driven ML lacks transparency, interpretability, and robustness and has unsustainable computational and data needs. Second, traditional approaches to building intelligent applications and autonomous systems that rely on knowledge representations and symbolic reasoning can be assured but are not robust to the uncertain ... read more |
