We will provide a brief overview of the CorporIS project, funded by Spain’s Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación. The project aims at contributing to the conceptual and theoretical foundations for a mathematical and computational model of embodied conceptualisation, driven by its potential deployment and application in cognitive musicology and musical creativity.
Prof. Mark d'Inverno: "Using a piano (I hope), AI software and a few videos I will aim to try and answer this question from the perspectives of researcher, musician and lecturer."
Bio:
Mark d'Inverno has spent the last 20 years undertaking cutting-edge research at the frontiers of AI, creativity and learning –luckily for him that much has been with colleagues at IIIA - asking how they relate to each other and how the different academic disciplines can provide us with insights into the role we want AI to play in learning, in creative practice and in society in general. Mark's PhD from UCL investigated the concepts of agency and autonomy in artificial systems, and since then he has published around peer-reviewed 200 articles and several books (including the edited book "Computers and Creativity"). Mark was formerly Pro-Warden (Pro-Vice-Chancellor) at Goldsmiths, University of London - known for an array of alumni who have contributed to the creative and cultural industries nationally and internationally - where he has led on developing the College's international profile and engagement and before that led the research and enterprise brief. He is a critically acclaimed jazz pianist (Guardian, Observer, BBC) and for nearly 40 years has led a variety of successful bands in a range of different musical genres.

Professor Gopal Ramchurn from the University of Southampton will give us a brief overview of some of the latest research he has carried out in the area of human-agent collectives and will articulate some of the key challenges that arise when building AI needs to be trustworthy by design and trusted in practice. Then he will detail the programme of the UKRI Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Hub (www.tas.ac.uk), which is a newly funded £12m programme to coordinate a portfolio of £21m of research projects across multiple universities in the UK.
Webinar
Speaker: Filippo Bistaffa - researcher at the IIIA-CSIC.
Filippo will present an approach that allows one to approximate every characteristic function games (CFG) as an induced subgraph game (ISG), a succinct game representation that is based on a weighted graph among the agents. The proposal outperforms existing CSG approaches for ISGs by using off-the-shelf optimisation solvers.
Webinar
Marta R. Costa-jussà, a Ramon y Cajal Researcher at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC, Barcelona), will be giving some deep insights into (spoken) multilingual language translation pursuing similar quality for all languages. Also, we are going to discuss how we can efficiently add new languages in a highly multilingual system. Finally, we are going to give details on the fairness challenge, why neutral words as “doctor” tend to infer the “male” gender when translated into a language that requires gender flexion for this word?
Webinar
Professor Juan Antonio Rodríguez will present to us the AI4EU project. AI4EU is the European Union’s landmark Artificial Intelligence project, which seeks to develop a European AI ecosystem, bringing together the knowledge, algorithms, tools and resources available and making it a compelling solution for users. Involving 80 partners, covering 21 countries, the €20m project kicked off in January 2019 and will run for three years.
Webinar
Professor Cecilio Angulo will present us the IDEAI-UPC (https://ideai.upc.edu/en) research lab. Cecilio is the current director of the IDEAI-UPC. He will present some of the projects that are being carried out at the IDEAI and that perhaps may open up new collaboration lines between the two institutes.
Webinar
The Doctoral Consortium will take place on July 21 and 22. Due to concerns regarding COVID-19 the DC2020 will be held online.

This year's Christmas Concert coincides with the 25th anniversary of the institute.
music performance
La jornada consistirà en un parell de taules rodones sobre la història i el futur del IIIA i una conferència a càrrec del Professor Luc Steels, seguit d’un dinar.
25th anniversary conference round table
Amb el motiu de la commemoració dels 25 anys de l'Institut d'Investigació en Intel·ligència Artificial (IIIA-CSIC), ens complau convirdar-vos a la jornada "25 anys fent IA: El Repte d'Innovar" que tindrà lloc el proper 18 de desembre al mateix institut.
25th anniversary discussion talk
Estas jornadas se enmarcan dentro de las acciones iniciales de AIHUB.CSIC y tienen el objetivo de completar el mapa de competencias del CSIC reuniendo a representantes y miembros de los grupos activos en inteligencia artificial.
AIHUB workshop
El Dr. Ramon López de Mántaras (expert en Intel·ligència Artificial) i el Dr. Jordi Isern (expert en Ciències de l'Espai) parlaran sobre l'impacte de la intel·ligència artificial en el marc dels viatges interplanetaris tripulats, i també sobre els límits ètics i les implicacions per a l'ésser humà. Un diàleg a la frontera entre ciència i filosofia, per plantejar reptes futurs ara que fa 50 anys que vam trepitjar la Lluna i que es plantegen els viatges a Mart.
