This seminar covers:
• Why learning-based controllers struggle with real-world deployment: we can’t guarantee a learned policy is safe, and we can’t efficiently find the rare scenarios where it fails
• A new approach that closes the loop between synthesis (building safe policies) and falsification (finding where they break)
• How neural certificates can be formulated as value functions in reinforcement learning, producing control policies with built-in safety and stability guarantees — turning safety into a structural property of the policy rather than a soft penalty
• An adaptive test-case generation method using Bayesian active learning to discover failure scenarios that are both likely to reveal problems and useful for broader coverage
• How this method can predict failures from limited hardware demonstrations
• How it supports scalable, evolving experimental design for system-level testing

TubeReader video aggregator is a website that collects and organizes online videos from the YouTube source. Video aggregation is done for different purposes, and TubeReader take different approaches to achieve their purpose.
Our try to collect videos of high quality or interest for visitors to view; the collection may be made by editors or may be based on community votes.
Another method is to base the collection on those videos most viewed, either at the aggregator site or at various popular video hosting sites.
TubeReader site exists to allow users to collect their own sets of videos, for personal use as well as for browsing and viewing by others; TubeReader can develop online communities around video sharing.
Our site allow users to create a personalized video playlist, for personal use as well as for browsing and viewing by others.

What is YouTube?
YouTube is a free video sharing website that makes it easy to watch online videos. You can even create and upload your own videos to share with others. Originally created in 2005, YouTube is now one of the most popular sites on the Web, with visitors watching around 6 billion hours of video every month.
