TAO-UCTSIG
One of the SIG (Special Interest Groups) of TAO.
I am responsible of the TAO UCT SIG.
We work on artificial intelligence.
WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ?
PROBLEMS IN WHICH COMPUTERS MAKE DECISIONS.
IN PARTICULAR PROBLEMS FOR WHICH HUMANS ARE BETTER THAN
COMPUTERS.
What we do:
MATHS
CHALLENGES (GAMES)
IMPORTANT APPLICATIONS

SO I REMOVE MATHS.

ROBOT ARM
POKEMON (PIKACHU)
URBAN RIVALS
MINESWEEPER
GO
AN INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION
Robot Arm
One of our applications: trying to control thisrobot for
learning from trial & error.
We havecompetitionsof robot arm control.
Join :-)
POKEMONS
Second most lucrative video game.
Meta-gaming: choosing your deck.
POKEMON:2 STEPS.
METAGAMING: I have plenty of cards, I choose my deck.
INGAMING: I have a deck, I play.
==> involves partial observability==> nice mathematics
URBAN RIVALS
17 Millions registered users. Important company.
MINESWEEPER:
- WHO HAS NEVER PLAYED MINESWEEPER ?
- STILL A CHALLENGE FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
- SURPRISINGLY, THE BEST MOVE IS NOT ALWAYS JUST A MOVE WITH
MINIMUM PROBABILITY OF MINE.
GAME OF GO(with Nutn)
GOOD NEWS: we had a lot of progress with **generic** algorithms
(algorithms which can be used for many things).
The revolution in Go which occurred in 2007-2009 is a major
breakthrough in Artificial Intelligence.
We'll see that in details.
I am a little bit tired of the game of Go, because I have no
recent progress, and recent progress in the community comes from Go
expertise, which is only useful for Go...
Problem 2: Solving unsolved situations in Go
Now computers are much stronger than in the past.
However, they still misunderstand some trivial situations (in
particular, liberty races).
You have an idea ? Tell me :-)

POWER PLANTS
Nuclear stuff everywhere in France.but you can come for tourism
:-)
French energy company EDF:
- worlds largest utility company.
- 120,000+ megawatts in Europe, Latin America, Asia, the
Middle-East and Africa.
- Controls companies in all continents.
ELECTRICITY GENERATION
ELECTRICITY GENERATIONin FRANCE
France = world championof nuclearpower plant
ELECTRICITY GENERATIONin FRANCE also hydroelectricity
- Big consumption = winter.- Yet, since the 2003 disaster
(Taiwan-like heat wave in summer, 15 000 died), air conditioning
appears.- We sell electricity in Europe (will increase, due to
Fukushima)
==> highly dependent on (i) climate (ii) economical
conditionsFRANCE ELECTRICITY: CONSUMPTION
- French electric grid connected to many countries: how will
they evolve ?
- Avoid black-out (domino effect on grids) ?
- Will probably increase: more in Africa (buying photo-voltaic,
wind)
- No typhoon, no earthquake, no tsunami: keeping nuclear power
or not ?
- Electric cars EUROPE ELECTRICITY: FUTURE
A RISK: SOMETHING LIKE THE 2003 BLACK OUT IN US
ANOTHER RISK: LACK OF WATER(DROUGHT)
(nuclear power plants cooled by water)
PLENTY OF IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:
We have a lot of hydroelectricity.Hydroelectricity ==> water
= stock of energy.
Every day: can I use water now ? Or should I keep it for later
(winter) ?
Long term investments: which plants should I build ?
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS SOOOO GOOD.
NICE AND VISIBLE CHALLENGES IN GAMES
CRITICAL APPLICATIONS:I had a lot of pleasure trying to make
something useful for my country around energy. When you work on
this, you know you work on something important, as everyone needs
energy.
Which power plants should Taiwan build ?
How Taiwan should connect its electric grid to other countries
so that no partner suffers from the connection ?
