Prof. Ken Stanley, University of Central Florida, when he visited RMIT University's School of Computer Science and IT in August 2012. The talk was sponsored by NICTA, ACM and RMIT University. In this talk, titled 'Discovery without Objectives', Ken Stanley offers an alternative approach to innovation, creativity, and discovery, by contemplating the counterintuitive idea that setting an objective can often limit or even block its own achievement. Recent experiments with evolutionary algorithms suggest that search (a metaphor for innovation and discovery in general) is sometimes most effective when it is not explicitly seeking an objective. In particular, through several experiments in interactive evolution, and with an algorithm called 'novelty search', a picture of innovation is emerging in which defined objectives can help to guide us one step away from our present understanding, yet ultimately become handcuffs that also blind us to essential orthogonal discoveries on the road to long-term innovation. While the implications of these insights for reaching our highest goals are in part sobering, the silver lining is that much can be gained by liberating ourselves from the temptation to frame all our projects in terms of what they ultimately aim to achieve. Instead, with evidence in hand, we can exploit the structure of the unknown by orienting ourselves towards discovery and away from the shackles of mandated outcomes. This talk was part of the ACM's Distinguished Lecture Series and was also designated a NICTA Big Picture Seminar.RMIT University5540Artificial Intelligence, computational intelligence, evolutionary algorithms, artificial neural networks, evolving neural networks, http://itunesu.its.rmit.edu.au/sites/default/files/itunesmedia/Ken_Stanley_Discovery_Without_Objectives-1.mp4 Thu, 10 May 2012 13:20:03 +1000Join RMIT Life Sciences students as they learn to trap and tag wildlife on the Wonthaggi Heathlands in Gippsland.RMIT University1108Bandicoot, Wonthaggi, wildlife, indigenous, heathland, environment http://itunesu.its.rmit.edu.au/sites/default/files/itunesmedia/Bandicoots_Ahoy.m4v Thu, 10 May 2012 11:11:50 +1000Follow RMIT Life Sciences students on a birdwatching tour along the Yarra River Valley.

The automatic generation of extremely complex three-dimensional design solutions is gaining a lot of attention especially in the field of architecture and town-planning and the floorplanning of integrated circuit design. It requires efficient searches of large and discontinuous spaces which consist of components, objectives, constraints and topological connections. An optimization search algorithm takes the problem formulation and identifies promising solutions by evaluating design alternatives and evolving designs states. Objective and constraints analyses usually vary for different problems. At the same time the optimization technique and geometric representation are problem independent and constitute the core of a generic layout tool. This presentation provides an overview of existing techniques and available tools and present1 an outlook into application in design of 3D high complexity electronic circuits and systems.RMIT University3836research, science technology, "smart technology", platform technologies, science and technology, PTRI, institute, IEEE, Industrial Electronics Society, IECON, Maciej Ogorzalek, http://itunesu.its.rmit.edu.au/sites/default/files/itunesmedia/maciejogorzaleklecture.mp3 Fri, 26 Nov 2010 18:19:30 +1100The new politics of climate changeThe new politics of climate change: building political momentum and community support for adequate action on climate change. In regard to responding to the enormous challenges of climate change, the public debate in Australia has been frustratingly narrow and yet polarising. The Rudd/Gillard governments have put nearly all their emphasis on the twice-defeated Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and an increased roll-out renewable energy alternatives, while the Abbott-led opposition has given new oxygen to climate change scepticism and has talked very loosely about 'direct action' rather than taxation. The extraordinary outcome of the recent federal election has changed the political climate significantly yet big challenges lie ahead for building an adequate political response to what Kevin Rudd properly called the ‘greatest moral challenge of our time’. Professor Robyn Eckersley and Dr Martin Mulligan will discuss ways of building political momentum and broader community support for a more fundamental shift in the way we look at this 'issue'. Professor Robyn Eckersley is Head of Political Science at the University of Melbourne and author of the book The green state: rethinking democracy and sovereignty. Dr Martin Mulligan is the Director of the Globalism Research Centre at RMIT University and was co-author of the book Ecological pioneers: a social history of Australian ecological thought and action.
