September

• Computing Science Seminar. Dr. Meneguzzi on "A Bayesian approach to norm identification"

  07 September 2016, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract: When entering a system, an agent should be aware of the obligations and prohibitions (collectively norms) that affect it. Existing solutions to this norm identification problem make use of observations of either norm compliant, or norm violating, behaviour. Thus, they assume an extreme situation where norms are typically violated,...

• Computing Seminar in RGU: Prof Sanjay Jha on "A Changing Landscape: Securing The Internet Of Things (IoT)"

  07 September 2016, 11:00 - 12:00

  AbstractFirst part of this talk will discuss how the community is converging towards the IoT vision having worked in wireless sensor networking and Machine-2-Machine (M2M) communication. This will follow a general discussion of security challenges in IoT. Finally I will discuss some results from an ongoing projects on security of...

• Computing Science Seminar. Kasabov on "Deep Learning, Spiking Neural Networks and Spatio-Temporal Data Machines"

  01 September 2016, 13:00 - 14:00

  Abstract: The current development of the third generation of artificial neural networks - the spiking neural networks (SNN) along with the technological development of highly parallel neuromorphic hardware systems of millions of artificial spiking neurons as processing elements, makes it possible to model complex data in a more efficient, brain-like way...

July

• Computing Science Seminar. Fuchs "Non-Monotonic Reasoning in Attempto Controlled English"

  27 July 2016, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract: Attempto Controlled English (ACE) is a logic-based knowledge representation language that uses the syntax of a subset of English. RACE is a first-order reasoner for ACE that can show the consistency of a set of ACE axioms and deduce ACE theorems and ACE queries from ACE axioms. In my talk...

• Controlled Natural Language Workshop (CNL 2016)

  25 - 26 July 2016

  This workshop on Controlled Natural Language (CNL) has a broad scope and embraces all approaches that are based on natural language and apply restrictions on vocabulary, grammar, and/or semantics. This includes (but is certainly not limited to) approaches that have been calledsimplified language, plain language, formalized language, processable language, fragments of language,...

December

• Computing Science Seminar. Oren on "Demand Responsive Pricing of Taxi Services"

  09 December 2015, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract: Traditional taxi services commonly charge a fixed price for their services based on a combination of travel distance and time. However, services such as Uber and Lyft seek to use market mechanisms (i.e., by considering changes in supply and demand) to compute trip pricing. Such pricing has several potential benefits,...
