Theory and Practice combined

Day 3 Started off with a lecture on “On-Line Algorithms for adaptive and anticipatory systems” which was quite interesting, although again things that we had mostly covered already, although sometimes phrased differently. I think with regards to AI, our group (or at least the two year three students) are ahead of the majority of the others.

Online algorithms are algorithms where the input is not known in it’s entirety. They must make a decision based on the current information which is as close to the perfect solution as possible.

In the afternoon we had a lecture by a finnish professor on the “RoboCup” explaining about his team and the robots they created.

In the early evening we went on a guided visit of Kiel town-hall, which was nearly entirely destroyed during the second world war. We were taken to the top of the tower and the interesting landmarks were pointed out. I have some photographs of this which will be uploaded at some point.
