Ramon Llull: From the Ars Magna to Agreement Computing

Prof. Carles Sierra

The philosopher Ramon Llull (1212-1316) proposed the Lullian Art, an argumentative method to convince non-Christians about the truth of the Christian faith. Although the purpose of his method is obviously futile, Llull made a seminal contribution to one of nowadays most exciting areas of research in Multiagent Systems: Agreement Computing. He proposed a basic alphabet, (extended later by Leibniz using numbers), which, by means of combinations, would build a consistent vision of the world that everybody should agree upon. In this talk I will describe Llull’s contribution to logic, argumentation and social choice and the current research trends in Agreement Computing. In particular, I will survey the areas of Negotiation, Argumentation and Regulation, and, when possible, I will relate them to Llull’s vision.

The Past, Present, and Future of Machine Learning APIs

Dr. Francisco J. Martín

In the past years, Machine Learning has been getting attention as a necessary tool for doing something useful with the ever-growing volume of data. This misleads some to believe that Machine Learning is new, but the truth is that the core algorithms and concepts have been around for a long time. What is new though is the confluence of Machine Learning and Cloud Computing, which for the first time in history is making learning from large datasets possible thru the use of programmable APIs. Since 2011, BigML has worked to implement this vision of a programmable web powered by a seamless Machine Learning layer in the cloud which will enable future smart apps to adapt themselves to a changing context in real-time as new information arrives. In this presentation we will trace the history of Machine Learning from it’s origins to the present and discuss the future evolution that must occur in terms of simplicity, programmability, importability/exportability, composability, specialization and standardization in order for it to make an impact in the "real world" and make this vision come alive.

iCub: an open platform for research in robotics & artificial intelligence

Prof. Giorgio Metta

Giorgio Metta will present the iCub humanoid, a robotic platform designed for research in embodied cognition. At 104 cm tall, the iCub has the size of a three and half years old child. It can crawl on all fours and sit up to manipulate objects. Its hands have been designed to support sophisticate manipulation skills. The iCub is distributed as Open Source following the GPL/FDL licenses and can now count on a worldwide community of enthusiastic developers. The entire design is available for download from the project homepage and repository (http://www.iCub.org). About 25 robots have been built so far which are available in laboratories in Europe, the USA and Japan. It is one of the few platforms in the world with a sensitive full-body skin to deal with the physical interaction with the environment including possible people.
