Brain Emulation Challenge Workshop
Brain Emulation Challenge workshop will tackle cutting-edge topics such as ground-truthing for validation, leveraging artificial datasets generated from virtual brain tissue, and the transformative potential of virtual brain platforms, such as applied to the forthcoming Brain Emulation Challenge.
Experimental Neuroscience Bootcamp
This course provides a fundamental foundation in the modern techniques of experimental neuroscience. It introduces the essentials of sensors, motor control, microcontrollers, programming, data analysis, and machine learning by guiding students through the “hands on” construction of an increasingly capable robot. In parallel, related concepts in neuroscience are introduced as nature’s solution to the challenges students encounter while designing and building their own intelligent system.
Data-driven Artificial Social Intelligence: From Social Appropriateness to Fairness
Designing artificially intelligent systems and interfaces with socio-emotional skills is a challenging task. Progress in industry and developments in academia provide us a positive outlook, however, the artificial social and emotional intelligence of the current technology is still limited. My lab’s research has been pushing the state of the art in a wide spectrum of research topics in this area, including the design and creation of new datasets; novel feature representations and learning algorithms for sensing and understanding human nonverbal behaviours in solo, dyadic and group settings; designing longitudinal human-robot interaction studies for wellbeing; and investigating how to mitigate the bias that creeps into these systems. In this talk, I will present some of my research team’s explorations in these areas including social appropriateness of robot actions, virtual reality based cognitive training with affective adaptation, and bias and fairness in data-driven emotionally intelligent systems.
