ABOUT

EAIA 2024 is a Portuguese Advanced School on AI organized by Portuguese Association of Artificial Intelligence (APPIA).

EAIA 2024 will provide an interdisciplinary setting in which courses are offered in areas of Artificial Intelligence.

EAIA is a central meeting place for students and young researchers in Artificial Intelligence to discuss current research and share knowledge.

Courses will consist of two 90-minute sessions, offered on the two days (Monday-Tuesday), to allow students to develop in-depth knowledge of a topic.

There will be two parallel sessions in which students choose the topic they want to assist.

TOPICS AND FORMAT

EAIA aims to cover all subdisciplines of AI and the interactions between them.

* General Artificial AI

* Generative AI – Foundations and Applications

* Reinforcement Learning

* AI in Humanized Medicine (ML)

* Ethical and |Responsabile in AI

* Art and Creativity

* Intelligent Robotics

Each course will consist of two 90-minute lectures, offered daily
(Monday-Tuesday) before EPIA Conference.

While introductory courses will typically focus on one subarea of AI,
introductory and advanced courses are encouraged to present a broader
perspective on AI and should be of interest beyond one specific area.

Each course has a theoretical and a practical part.
