In this presentation Guðrún Fema Ólafsdóttir, research assistant at IIIM, is introducing her project on simulated self-directed growth of human tissue. She aspires to create a new method for creating simulations of complex processes in the absence of a full mathematical model. Results of this project could benefit not only scientific but also medical understanding of biological processes.
During his presentation Dr. Kristinn R. Thórisson introduced the RU-led, EU-funded HUMANOBS project that produced a radically new approach to machine learning. Rooted in cybernetics, this approach allows computer agents to learn complex tasks by observation, without the detailed information needed up-front in prior approaches.
In this issue read about: our successful efforts with Rögg ehf to improve search-and-rescue operations and CEO Rögg Baldvin Hansson’s interview on how he turned an inspired idea to practical implementation; IIIM Managing Director Kristinn R. Thórisson’s thoughts on publication licensing; highlights from IIIM & CADIA’s Open Day; and much more from the ever-changing field of AI.
It is our pleasure to invite you to visit us during the annual Vísindavaka on September 27, 2013. This year’s event, hosted by Rannís, will be held at Háskólabíó from 5 – 10 pm.
IIIM has been participating in this exciting event since 2010. This year we will have an interactive technology on site. One of our projects – LivingShadows – will be presented at our booth in Háskólabíó as an interactive display so that visitors can get a feel for the larger-scale setup of the project that we have at Reykjavík University.
