On 8 November, Adrian Arnaiz and Erik Derner, researchers at ELLIS Alicante, presented their paper entitled ‘Artificial Intelligence and Human Wellbeing’ at the 5th Conference on Intellectual Disability, organised by the San Rafael Foundation.
3h practical and theoretical lecture about GNNs, as part of the Delve Deep Learning Online course. The course is aimed at professionals, companies and future entrepreneurs-researchers from different sectors of activity.
An ICML Tutorial w/ Ameya Velingker (Google Research) at ICML on Graph Machine Learning. In addition to the foundations, we cover challenges in expressiveness and generalizability, and understanding and addressing under-reaching, over-smoothing, over-squashing, and graph rewiring techniques. We moderate a aanel discussion with Michael Bronstein, Bryan Perozzi and Christopher Morris and more panelistabout future steps in GNNs.

30 min technical talk aimed to researchers from Carnegie Mellon University from DDMLab. I presented the technical challenged from algorithmic challenges in data-centric interpretable approahces, Graph Fairness and long-term effects and feedback loops.
The European Parliament sent to ELLIS Alicante their JURI Committee on Legal Affairs, which are responsables of the AI regulation in Europe (AI Act). I presented the current Challenges of Algorithmic discrimiation in AI, getting close technical, social and legal concepts in the same presentation. We then discussed the current gaps between technicians and regulators to overcome the current limitations of AI regulation.
