Please read carefully the following statement related to Covid-19.
The dates of the summer school are July 26th to 30th, at a time
travel restrictions related to Covid-19 may not be completely
lifted. The summer school will therefore be organized in a
distributed fashion: participants may join one of the three
physical host locations in St-Étienne (France), Waischenfeld
(Germany) and St-Gallen (Switzerland), while a shared virtual
location will be made available to everyone. All (physical and
virtual) locations will be connected via a video stream. This
innovative organization scheme ensures all participants have the
chance to experience the summer school in the best possible
condition for them. In addition, the practical exercises and
hackathon programmed during the summer school will take advantage
of this distributed organization by accessing industrial assets
running at the three host locations. Students will thus
participate in the deployment of a truly decentralized network of
connected Industry 4.0 systems.
======================= CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
======================
Call for participation to the Summer School on
AI Technologies for Trust, Interoperability and Autonomy in
Industry 4.0
July 26th-30th, 2021
St-Étienne (France), Waischenfeld (Germany), St-Gallen
(Switzerland)
https://ai4industry.wp.imt.fr/editions/ai4industry2021/
We invite PhD students and other researchers from academia or
industry to apply to the second summer school on AI Technologies
for Trust, Interoperability and Autonomy in Industry 4.0 (short
ai4industry), in a collaboration between French, German and Swiss
institutions. The dates for the 2021 edition of ai4industry are
July 26th-30th, 2021.
The ai4industry summer school targets concrete industry use cases:
half of the summer school is dedicated to practical work (through
a hackathon) while the other half is meant to introduce the
theoretical foundations underlying the hackathon’s framework.
Topics
=====
The summer school will address various aspects of AI in Industry
4.0 (or Industry of the future) with a particular focus on:
* the Web of Things
* Knowledge Graphs
* Multi-Agent Systems
* Responsible AI
Each of these topics will be covered in lectures and the
hackathon. Several pieces of software have been integrated for the
purpose of the hackathon, providing tools and implementations of
theoretical principles in these four domains.
Expected candidates and benefits
========================
We welcome applications from PhD students and early stage
researchers that have already some knowledge in at least one of
the topics above, but want to broaden their perspective and have a
chance to apply their skills on concrete problems. We also welcome
researchers who want to get in touch with a new research community
and industry partners who want to get updated on recent advances
in AI. The benefit for the participants is that they can:
* learn or improve knowledge in several areas of Artificial
Intelligence
* get in touch with high profile researchers and professors
* build a network with other talented young researchers
* hack together plausible solutions to stimulating concrete
industrial problems
* have the opportunity to further develop your approach in
collaboration with industry partners
