Maties Machine Learning (MML) is a seminar series and discussion forum with the goal of bringing together people working on machine learning at Stellenbosch University. We meet roughly every second week for short talks on people’s current work, some ML-related topic, or open discussions. The idea is to get to know what others are working on and to strengthen machine learning research at Stellenbosch.

Oscar Duys and Joseph Low – Delegating Deliberation to Agents

Can AI agents learn what you think and represent you in a discussion you never attended?

The speakers will introduce Habermolt (habermolt.com), a system that lets users send AI agents to deliberate on their behalf, and will discuss early directions toward Habersim, an evaluation suite for testing different deliberation architectures.

Short bio: Oscar and Louw are Cooperative AI Research Fellows (CAIRF).
