Designing Agent Systems
Marcin Paprzycki, Computer Science Department, Oklahoma State University – Abstract: For many years a message is being perpetuated that software agent technologies will become the next revolution in computer science. This change is to occur not only in the ways we construct software [2] but…
An Efficient Algorithm for Generating Super Condensed Neighborhoods
Luís M. S. Russo, Inesc-ID – Abstract: Approximate string matching is the problem of finding a pattern in a text allowing for some errors to occur. Indexing methods for the approximate string matching problem spend a considerable effort generating condensed neighborhoods. In this session we…
2004 – A good year for grammatical inference
Pieter Adriaans, University of Amsterdam – Abstract: This talk will address recent developments in grammatical inference, with emphasis on the ADIOS approach (Automatic DIstillation Of Structure), a system for the inference of natural language grammars that has been shown to perform well in language proficiency…

Apresentação e análise do algoritmo da colocação dos docentes do concurso do ano lectivo de 2004/2005
Luís Andrade, ATX – Abstract: Nesta palestra será apresentada de forma sumária a caracterização do problema da colocação dos docentes onde se distinguem dois aspectos: 1. A problemática relativa à mobilidade das candidaturas, isto é, à transitividade dos destacamentos e a libertação e recuperação de…
Learning and Recommending Shortcuts in Semantic Peer-to-Peer Networks
Christoph Tempich, University of Karlsruhe – Abstract: A major problem within peer-to-peer systems is to find the best peer given a certain query. Inspired by the work in the area of social networks we present a novel peer-to-peer system called INGA (Interest-based Node Grouping Architecture)….
Location determination in 802.11 networks
A. S. Krishnakumar, Avaya Laboratories – Abstract: With the increasing use of wireless networking, especially 802.11-based wireless systems in enterprise networks, the thrust now is to develop services that provide more than untethered network access. An important class comprises those services that use end-user location…

Utilização da Estrutura de Ligações da Web em Problemas de Recuperação de Informação
Pável Calado, Inesc-ID – Abstract: Entre as muitas novas técnicas de Recuperação de Informação (RI) criadas no contexto da Web, análise de ligações é uma que tem atraído grande atenção. Neste trabalho, estudamos como ligações entre páginas Web podem ser aplicadas na resolução de dois…
Flexible and conformally shaped electronic surfaces
Prof. Sigurd Wagner, Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials – Abstract: The display industry is beginning to manufacture on four-square-meter glass substrates, to supply the rapidly growing market for flat panel television sets. Within ten years, large-area electronic surfaces will sell in…
Upcoming Events
Mathematics, Physics & Machine Learning Seminar Series (Online)

The Mathematics, Physics & Machine Learning seminar series has started on October 2020 and runs until March 2021.
The seminars aim to bring together mathematicians and physicists interested in machine learning (ML) with ML and AI experts interested in mathematics and physics, with the goal of introducing innovative Mathematics and Physics-inspired techniques in Machine Learning and, reciprocally, applying Machine Learning to problems in Mathematics and Physics.
Attendance is free but registration is required.
