Europe’s Moonshot Ambition in AI: Vision & Implementation

Alexa Kodde Project Manager at CLAIRE AI is the primary driver of scientific discoveries, industrial engineering, energy production, logistics, the creative economy, education, and public services. The vision for “AI Made in Europe” is more important than ever. But are we sure the vision has not become “AI Made Elsewhere”? Keywords: AI; moonshot; sovereignty Scientific […]

An Adaptive Initial Design for Bayesian Optimization

Carolin Benjamins PhD at Leibniz University Hannover Our goal is to progress on Dynamic Algorithm Configuration (DAC) for Bayesian Optimization (BO). BO is a widely-used and sample-efficient framework for optimizing black-box problems, which are often expensive to evaluate. Dynamically configuring BO enables to adapt to the optimization progress and to any problem landscape without prior

Leveraging Social Agents as Mediators to Foster Trust and Comprehension of Affective Engagement with Digital Content

Sergio Muñoz Assistant Professor at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid The vast and ever-expanding digital landscape presents significant challenges for users striving to navigate and discern accurate information. This challenge is compounded by the dynamic nature of the Internet, characterized by attention-seeking strategies intended to exploit users’ unconscious emotional responses. This affects the credibility of information

Explainable Semi-Supervised Fuzzy C-Means

Kamil Kmita Research Assistant at Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences Semi-Supervised Fuzzy C-Means (SSFCMeans) model adapts an unsupervised fuzzy clustering algorithm to handle partial supervision in the form of categorical labels. One of the key challenges is to appropriately handle the impact of partial supervision (IPS) on the outcomes of the model. SSFCMeans

The First Workshop on Hybrid Human-Machine Learning and Decision Making

Andrea Passerini Associate professor at University of Trento In the past, machine learning and decision-making have been treated as independent research areas. However, with the increasing emphasis on human-centered AI, there has been a growing interest in combining these two areas. Researchers have explored approaches that aim to complement human decision-making rather than replace it,

Robust and safe reinforcement learning against uncertainties in human feedback

Taku Yamagata Senior Research Associate at the University of Bristol Abstract One of the promising approaches to improve the robustness and safety of reinforcement learning (RL) is collecting human feedback and, that way, incorporating prior knowledge of the target environment. However, human feedback can be inconsistent and infrequent. In this proposed research visit, we explore
