The European Project 'NL4XAI' faces its final stretch with a great final event
The first generation of experts on Explainable Artificial Intelligence in Europe is about to arise as the NL4XAI research project comes to an end. The University of Twente will host next Friday 24 May its great final event.
CiTIUS scientists José María Alonso, Ettore Mariotti and Nikolay Babakov will represent the centre, co-funded by the European Union through the Galicia Feder 2021-2027 Programme, at the major final event of the European project NL4XAI, "Shaping the Future of AI: Final Conference and Industrial Event for the NL4XAI European Project", which will be held at the University of Twente next Friday, 24 May.
Funded under the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme to train eleven PhD candidates, this European consortium announces its final conference and industrial event, scheduled for 24 May 2024 at the DesignLab of the University of Twente, The Netherlands. The event will serve as a pivotal platform to share the innovative results achieved by the PhD candidates in the field of Natural Language (NL) for Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), as well as to catalyse dynamic discussions on future directions and initiatives in this area.
We conceive this event as a forum where PhD students can reflect on the lessons learned and on their contributions to NL4XAI, and where academic staff and industry professionals can exchange ideas about the state of the art and the future of this important field.
The conference will begin with a morning session that will include engaging talks by outstanding speakers from both academia and industry. The speakers will be:
- Maryam Amir Haeri, Assistant Professor at the University of Twente, who will speak about Fair AI.
- Joop Snijder, Head of the Research Center AI at Info Support, who will address Explainable AI in industry.
- Meike Nauta, Senior Data Scientist and AI Consultant at Datacation, who will delve into the future of XAI.
In the afternoon, attendees will take part in an interactive session in which the NL4XAI PhD candidates, together with participants from related projects, will share and showcase their latest research results on explainable AI. Representatives from industry and other organisations interested in AI are also invited to present their organisations during this session.
Join us in helping to shape the future of AI at the NL4XAI Final Conference, where all the details of the event will be announced and lively discussions on next steps and actions will be promoted. Attendees will have the opportunity to visit the DesignLab of the University of Twente, a facility conceived to bridge the gap between science and society through design. This inspiring setting will host presentations of all ESR projects, keynote lectures by invited scientists and a dedicated industrial session with demonstration booths showcasing project results and associated demos. Registration and further information about the event are available on the NL4XAI "Shaping the Future of AI" event page.
H2020 Training Network
NL4XAI is funded by the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, through a Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant, as part of the European Union’s commitment to Explainable Artificial Intelligence. The network is coordinated by the research team at the Research Centre in Intelligent Technologies of the University of Santiago de Compostela (CiTIUS-USC), led by Senén Barro. NL4XAI is a joint academia–industry research network that brings together 21 beneficiaries and partner organisations from six different European countries (France, Malta, Poland, Spain, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom). The participating entities include two national research institutions (IIIA-CSIC, CNRS), ten universities (University of Aberdeen, University of Dundee, L-Universitá ta’ Malta, Delft University of Technology, Utrecht University, University of Twente, Warsaw University of Technology, Université de Lorraine, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Universitat Autonòma de Barcelona, Maastricht University) and eight private companies (Indra, Accenture, Orange, Wizenoze, Arria, InfoSupport, INDITEX and Trivago).
