Two papers were accepted for publication in the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Computer Supported Education (CSEDU-2017).
The first one is titled: “Personalized, affect and performance-driven Computer-based Learning”, authored by C. Athanasiadis, C.Z. Lens, D. Koutsoukos, E. Hortal and S. Asteriadis and the second one is titled: “A Course Recommender System based on Graduating Attributes” and is authored by B. Bakhshinategh, G. Spanakis, O. Zaiane and S. ElAtia
RAI participates in IMPACT (International Meeting in Performing Arts & Creative Technologies), a project supported by Interreg (Euregio Meuse-Rhin) and officially launched on Tuesday, January 31st in Théâtre de Liège. In this project our Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning experts together with artist Marie van Vollenhoven will explore whether computers can learn concepts like “harmony” and “balance”.
First findings of this research project will be presented during Cross Currents festival organized by Jazz Maastricht (also a participant in IMPACT) on May 13th 2017.
See below the video/interview from the official launch event with Dr. Gerasimos (Jerry) Spanakis and the artist Marie van Vollenhoven
Our paper “Unsupervised discovery of normal and abnormal activity patterns in indoor and outdoor environments” (D. Dotti, M. Popa, S. Asteriadis) has been accepted for publication in the 12th International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications (VISAPP 2017).
An article about our role in the ICT4Life project and the algorithmic techniques used for abnormal behaviour detection was published in the Computer Vision News magazine at pages 22-24: http://www.rsipvision.com/ComputerVisionNews-2016December/.
We welcome our new colleague, Dimitris Koutsoukos, to our lab. Dimitris will work on R&D projects in our group, related to ambient assisted living and innovative e-learning applications.
Our paper “Landmark-based multimodal human action recognition” (S. Asteriadis, P. Daras), which is a joint work between the Univ. of Maastricht (NL), CERTH (GR) has been accepted for publication as an open access article to the Multimedia Tools and Applications journal (Springer) ( http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11042-016-3945-6 )
We are happy to welcome Mr. Arpad Kocsis who has joined our group to work on feature discovery for personalised recommender systems in e-commerce. Arpad is already working as a data analyst for Navabi.
We will be presenting two papers at the 22nd European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2016):
Our “ThinkSlim” project paper “Utilizing longitudinal data to build decision trees for profile building and predicting eating behavior” (authored by Gerasimos Spanakis, Gerhard Weiss, Bastiaan Boh, Vincent Kerkhofs, Anne Roefs) is accepted as a full paper at HCist International Conference on Health and Social Care Information Systems and Technologies
We welcome today Dr Mirela Popa, who has joined our lab in order to hold a key position in the ICT4Life EU project. She will work on research issues related to ambient assisted living, human activity recognition and machine intelligence.
