I believe there is a new wave of interest in deeper understanding of complex systems through modelling and connecting with machine learning. I organized this conference on exploring system dynamics with AI which you can see most of the lectures here:

The idea was to think about it from different directions including academia, industry, and education.

Nobody presented multi agent simulations but I agree with you that is a very interesting way of thinking about things. There was a talk on high dimensional systems modelled with networks but the speaker didn't want their talk published online.

Anyways I'm happy to chat more about these topics. I'm obsessed with understanding complexity using ai, modelling, and other methods.

This looks rad! But you should title the videos with the topic and the speakers name, and if you must include the conference name, put it at the end :)

As-is, it's hard to skim the playlist, and likely terrible for organic search on Google or YouTube <3

I agree with you. Unfortunately I'm not in charge of the videos so even though I asked them to do this they didn't. Haha.
An AI conference that isn't bullshit hype? Will wonders never cease?

> Nobody presented multi agent simulations but I agree with you that is a very interesting way of thinking about things.

To answer your question I did build a simulation of how a multi model agent swarm - agents have different capabilities and run times - would impact the end user wait time based on arbitrary message parsing graphs.

After playing with it for an afternoon I realized I was basically doing a very wasteful Markov chain enumeration algorithm and wrote one up accordingly.

Yeah I already have loads of people asking when the next one is for this exact reason. Haha. Well, I would love to have people help organise the next one. But I don't know yet
