📝 Topic: Data, bias and copyright in the LLMs era

Exploring biased data and techniques in data poisoning.

About Moisés: 

I am a Ph.D. in the field of Artificial Intelligence, specializing in classical planning, machine learning and robotics systems. My Ph.D. thesis consists in extending some works on abstractions to the field of classical planning by generating abstract partial plans that provide detailed actions in the first steps of the plan. In later steps of the plan, it will only provide limited details, since the actions that are planned to be executed in the future are very unlikely to be used, given the uncertainty in plan execution. The future is always uncertain to spend a lot of time reasoning about it.

My work focuses on two main aspects. The first one consists of generating planners which can be used for planning and execution. The second one is solving real world problems (robotics, logistic, video-games) using automated planning.
