  • PEACE (Providing Explanations and Analysis for Combating Hate Expressions) by Elena Cabrio, 3IA Chairholder
This demonstrator describes a method of not only detecting explicit and implicit hate speech in text, but also explaining these predictions with natural language (using language models such as GPT).
 
  • Multimodal image registration by Federica Facente and Manasi Kattel, 3IA PhD
Multimodal image registration in healthcare is vital because it combines different types of medical images, like X-rays and MRIs, to give doctors a clearer, more complete view of a patient's condition. This combination can improve diagnosis, treatment planning and interventions by showing different aspects of tissues and organs in a single, detailed view. However, aligning these images accurately is challenging because they come from different machines with different settings. AI can be a powerful solution because it can learn to align these images more accurately and quickly than traditional methods. By using AI, we can make the process more reliable, supporting doctors make better decisions for their patients.
12:00 pm to 3:00 pm
  • Multi-object tracking (people) by Tomasz Stanczyk, 3IA PhD
How does multi-object tracking work?
Why is it important?
Where are its applications?
2:00 pm to 5:00 pm
  • Identifying archaeological charcoal using AI by Marco Corneli, Profesor in AI
Straddling IA and anthracology, i.e. the branch of archaeology concerned with the study and identification of excavated charcoal. Our work focuses on the taxonomic identification (i.e. what kind of wood? what family?) of South African charcoal dating back some 15k years. The idea is to train AI algorithms on collections of modern, burnt wood, which, based on an anatomical description of the charred wood made by the expert, learn to identify the coals.  The trained algorithm is then tested on archaeological charcoal.
3:00 pm to 7:00 pm
  • Bioinformatics: how to cure diseases using programming by Valeriia Rezapova, 3IA PhD
Have you ever wondered how scientists develop drugs for certain diseases?
Perhaps you've also heard of bioinformatics? But how can lines of code explain biological processes? For this Fête de la science, we'll be delving into a world that combines biology, medicine and mathematics.
We'll start our journey with the central dogma of molecular biology, then move on to the differences between DNA and RNA, followed by sequencing and how it works. Finally, we'll discover how to find a cure for bone disease and why mathematics is the foundation of bioinformatics.
