Artificial Intelligence for supporting human decisions and learning.
On the 4th September 2020, it took place the long-awaited moment: I defended my PhD thesis:
The Multimodal Tutor - Adaptive Feedback from Multimodal Experiences. Finally, after a long journey lasted 4 years I was awarded the title of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). Continue reading

Do you want to learn how to apply principles of Responsible AI in the design of AI systems that interact with humans? Many concepts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) such as ‘machine learning’ or ‘artificial neural networks’ are inspired by human intelligence. Most of the applications people use every day are powered by human data such as movie streaming apps, speech recognition and translation or music recommendations. But how to best design AI tools which can support humans in their decisions and augment human abilities in day to day life? In the Human AI masterclass, we will focus on different ways in which AI can support human decisions and activities.

SESSION DETAILS
INTRODUCTION PRESENTATION (10:00 - 10:15)
We explain the motivations behind the course, in particular why talking about AI interfacing with Humans is relevant in this context.
ROUND OF PRESENTATION (10:15 - 10:30)
Participants present themselves in 30 seconds LECTURE 1 - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS
FOR HUMAN SUPPORT (10:30 - 11:15)
Lecture 1 gives an overview of the existing AI
systems for human support including emotion
detection, speech recognition and recommendation
engines. Potential connected risks in these
areas are introduced.
BREAK-OUT SESSION 1 (11:15 - 12:00 )
The participants gather in groups to decide on the functionality of their AI tool by picking from a pool of ideas of HumanAI applications or by coming up with another interesting one.
BREAK-OUT SESSION 2 (13:45 - 14:30)
Participants continue working on the selected functionality, this time trying to the aim of applying user-modelling and HCI principles to make sure their AI tool fully models and understands
the user correctly.
LECTURE 3 - RESPONSIBLE AI AND ETHICS (14:30 - 15:15)
Lecture 3 touches on three main pillarls constituting the Responsible AI: Ethics & Privacy, Fairness and Explainability.
BREAK-OUT SESSION 3 (15:15 - 16:00)
In the last breakout session, the participants try to improve the design of their AI tool/ functionality having in mind the Responsible AI principles.
FINAL PRESENTATION (16:00 - 16:45)
Each group presents their AI-tool functionality explaining the decisions taken.

My amazing colleagues José, Roberto and Jan and I are Guest Editing a Special Issue on MDPI Sensors - have a look! https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/sdei
Since November 2019 in my postdoc at CAROU of the Open University of the Netherlands, I am working on a SafeCity project called MOBIUS - modelling smart and safe MOBIlity for Urban Sustainability.
There together with the help of Khaleel and HansBambel we are creating an app for remote tracking. By collecting smartphone's sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope and GPS coordinates, the MOBIUS is able to classify accurately the means of transportation used by the citizens of a city.
The MOBIUS app is an example of smart-mobility applications, which, by collecting crowdsourcing data, could be able to provide more insights into how people move around an urban area. The app will be hopefully trialled in the city of Heerlen in The Netherlands.
