December

• Computing Science Seminar. Vasconcelos on "Group Norms for Multi-Agent Organisations"

  02 December 2015, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract: Normative multi-agent systems offer the ability to integrate social and individual factors to provide increased levels of fidelity with respect to modelling social phenomena, such as cooperation, coordination, group decision making, and organization, in both human and artificial agent systems. An important open research issue refers to group norms, i.e. norms...

November

• Computing Science Seminar. Harrison on "A 5 question framework to help you think, conceptualise, develop, assess and strengthen a venture concept"

  18 November 2015, 14:00 - 16:00

  Abstract: “So What, Who Cares, Why You, Why Now, and Why Me?” – A 5 question framework to help you think, conceptualise, develop, assess and strengthen a venture concept. Designed to help you escape the “nodding head” syndrome and instead develop relationships and commercial opportunities to help bring your venture from...

• Computing Science Seminar. Gray and Runcie on "Data Tables and Logical Inferences"

  04 November 2015, 13:00 - 14:00

  Abstract: Many people fail to realise the variety of situations that data tables can represent, and also what we can infer from them.  A recent paper in AIEDAM Journal (Gray, Runcie & Sleeman (2015)) includes a description of how many  kinds of table used in describing Configuration problems can be used efficiently in inference and constraint...

October

• Computing Department Seminar. Hautli-Janisz on "Annotating aspects of deliberation in political negotiations"

  20 October 2015, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract: This talk revolves around the concept of deliberation and whether and how it can be automatically manifested in discourse. One of the key points of the talk is the operationalization of this rather abstract notion, which orignates from political science and assumes that participants in a multilog, i.e. a...

July

• Computing Science Seminar. Rat-Fischer on "Physical problem-solving competences in birds and human infants"

  22 July 2015, 14:00 - 16:00

  Abstract: The ability to solve physical problems –from simple ones such as opening a box containing a reward to more complex ones such as manufacturing ad-hoc tools– is under intense scrutiny in humans, other animals, and artificial systems. However, the cognitive and evolutionary processes underlying the emergence of such capacities remain...

  How to combine quantum Boltzmann statistics with classical mechanics  

• Computing Science Seminar. Toniolo on "Supporting Reasoning with Different Types of Evidence: The CISpaces toolkit"

  08 July 2015, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract: In this talk, I will present the CISpaces toolkit, a collaborative virtual space for intelligence analysis. CISpaces has been developed in collaboration with UCLA and Honeywell within the International Technology Alliance programme.  The aim of intelligence analysis is to make sense of information that is often conflicting or incomplete, and to...

• Computing Science Seminar. Wang on "Zhishi.me: Building up the Chinese Linked Open Data"

  01 July 2015, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract: Linked Open Data (LOD) has become one of the most important community efforts to publish high-quality interconnected semantic data. Such data has been widely used in many applications to provide intelligent services such as entity search and personalized recommendation. While DBpedia, one of the LOD core data sources, contains resources...

June

• Computing Science Seminar. Studer on "Rule-based Programming with Linked-Data-Fu"

  24 June 2015, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract: Linked Programs are designed for the declarative specification of applications based on web-accessible APIs to data and functionality. Linked-Data-Fu provides a general-purpose engine that allows to perform Linked Programs (describing interactions with web resources) combining data integration, communication and interaction, reasoning and query processing.  Linked Data-Fu executes such specifications by orders...
