Dr. Tiantian Tong from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) is our new invited speaker at the Institute of Astrophysics at the University of Cologne. She will visit the Institute as a guest scientist in the group of Prof. Dr. Stefanie Walch-Gassner on 28 September at 14:30 in the Kosma Room.
As part of her visit, Dr. Tong will give a talk entitled:
“No Agent Is an Island: Ori and the Skill Commons”
Abstract
AI agents are getting good at doing pieces of research, such as searching the literature, writing code, working with data, and making plots. But a useful research agent needs more: it needs to learn how a community actually works.
In this talk, I’ll introduce Ori (Open Research Intern), our AI research assistant at AIP, and the Skill Commons, a database where researchers can share practical know-how as skills. Ori can search the Commons, bring in new skills, and contribute back the knowledge it has learned.
The aim is not one agent that knows everything, but an ecosystem in which researchers teach their agents, and those agents learn from one another. It starts at AIP, but doesn’t stop there.
