AI4Society Seminar: Diyi Yang
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized how humans and AI systems work, learn and interact, creating new opportunities for collaboration while also raising new challenges. In this talk, we explore the evolving landscape of human–AI collaboration from three perspectives: teaming, teaching, and tailoring.

Autonomy Tea Talk: Dominic Maggio
Open-set 3D semantic mapping requires (i) determining the correct granularity to represent the scene (e.g., how should objects be defined), and (ii) fusing semantic knowledge across multiple 2D observations into an overall 3D reconstruction —ideally with a high-fidelity yet low-memory footprint.

MIT Robotics Seminar: Stefano Stramigioli
Robotics is the science of machines inter(acting) in our physical world, and yet, far to little attention is often given to sound methodologies able to understand the physics of such interactions and conceptual mistakes have been also even made in the litterature.

LIDS and Stats Tea Talk: Julie Zhu and Oliver Wang
Conformal prediction provides a powerful framework for constructing prediction intervals with finite-sample guarantees, yet its robustness under distribution shifts remains a significant challenge. This paper addresses this limitation by modeling distribution shifts using Lévy-Prokhorov (LP) ambiguity sets, which capture both local and global perturbations. We provide a self-contained overview of LP ambiguity sets and their connections to popular metrics such as Wasserstein and Total Variation.
