Luís Correia, LASIGE’s integrated member, was the invited speaker on July 5, 2022, at the pre-events of IBERAMIA’2022, the 17th Ibero-American Conference on Artificial Intelligence.

It was debated, among others, that Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are limited to solving the specific problem for which it was created. A central aspect of AI limitations is its limited coupling between symbolic knowledge and reasoning on the one hand and data-based knowledge and uncertainty on the other. Currently, this is perhaps the focus of most expected significant advances in AI. Notwithstanding, AI has always offered a variety of cases where these two types of knowledge coexist, from search in state space problems to recent machine learning techniques, such as reinforcement learning and natural language models. We will approach some of these examples showing that this coupling exists even if in a primary stage when compared to natural intelligence.

IBERAMIA will be held in Cartagena de Indias (Colombia) on November 23-25th, 2022, organized by the Universidad de Cartagena and the support of the Artificial Intelligence Chapter of the Sociedad Colombiana de Computación. It is the leading international conference where the Ibero-American AI community comes together to share research results and experiences with researchers in Artificial Intelligence from all over the world. The conference will feature a pre-conference program of workshops, and the main technical program will consist of invited talks by leading scientists in the area, presentations of technical papers, as well as system demonstrations.

The talk is available on IBERAMIA Channel.
