We will explore two recent methodologies that challenge the conventional reliance on predefined vocabularies and training data. The first part of the talk introduces the concept of Vocabulary-Free Image Classification (VIC)\, a novel approach that assigns classes to images without the constraints of a fixed vocabulary. We will delve into the challenges of operating within an unconstrained semantic space containing millions of concepts and present Category Search from External Databases (CaSED)\, a training-free method that leverages external vision-language databases for efficient and accurate classification. In the second part\, we will shift focus to Test-Time Zero-Shot Temporal Action Localization (ZS-TAL)\, which tackles the problem of identifying and locating unseen actions in untrimmed videos without the need for annotated training data. We will introduce the Test-Time adaptation for Temporal Action Localization (T3AL) approach\, which adapts a pre-trained Vision and Language Model (VLM) to perform action localization in a self-supervised manner\, significantly improving generalization across diverse video domains. Finally we will show how LLMs can be used as a sort of orchestrator to solve research problems autonomously\, through visual programming. \nPaolo is an assistant professor at the Center for Mind and Brain (CIMeC) at the University of Trento. He received his Ph.D. from the same university and has worked as a postdoctoral Marie Curie fellow at TU Wien and as a postdoc at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Genoa. He also worked as an ML researcher at the ProM Facility in Rovereto. He has been an assistant professor at the University of Trento since 2019 and started his tenure track in 2022. His research interests are focused on image and video classification using Vision and Language.

In Search of Common Principles DESCRIPTION:Over the past five years the European Union legislature has passed a flurry of ambitious directives and regulations dealing with various aspects of Europe’s digital economy: the Digital Single Market (DSM) Directive (2019)\, the Open Data Directive (2019)\, the Data Governance Act (2022)\, the Digital Services Act (2022)\, the Digital Market Act (2022)\, the Data Act (2023) and the AI Act (2024). \nWhile these legal instruments touch upon different legal domains\, ranging from intellectual property law\, freedom of government information and data protection to media regulation\, competition law\, and consumer protection\, there is considerable overlap – and increasing confusion about their reach and scope\, the new governance structures they establish\, and their underlying policies. \nIt introduces a ban on high-risk AI technologies\, establishes far reaching transparency measures\, demands human oversight\, prohibits misleading uses of AI\, creates new supervisory authorities\, and enhances protection of human creators against being “trained” by LLM’s. \nThis international conference – the first of its kind – searches for common principles and doctrines in Europe’s Digital Agenda\, and queries what will be the EU’s next step – if any – in its regulatory adventure in the digital field. It will also compare Europe’s Digital Agenda to developments in the United States and look at the impact of the new European rules on enterprises in the ICT sector in Europe\, particularly start-ups. \nProgramme\n8.30-9.00       Registration and coffee \n9.00-9.15       Opening (Dean Karl Harlad Søvig) \n9.15-9.45       Introduction: Martin Husovec\, LSE Law School \nSession 1       Fostering the European Data Economy\n9.45-10.05      Heather Broomfield\, University of Oslo\, Are We There Yet?

However\, alongside these benefits comes a growing concern: the widespread dissemination of misinformation. This challenge not only distorts public perception but can also significantly influence critical societal events\, such as elections and public health crises. In this talk\, we will present research from the UGRITAIlab at the University of Granada\, specifically in the field of fake news detection and analysis. Our research spans several key areas\, with a particular emphasis on the social impact of misinformation. Central to this work is our DESINFOSCAN Framework\, which includes a social impact module and a credibility analysis module. \nThe social impact module focuses on analyzing the influence of misinformation by utilizing advanced topic detection and argumentation techniques to examine social media discussions. Meanwhile\, the credibility module uses word embeddings to identify credible individuals and those whose contributions are valuable to the discourse on specific topics across social networks. By addressing these issues\, we aim to offer insights into how misinformation can be mitigated and how trustworthiness in social media interactions can be enhanced. \nThe seminar is digital only. The zoom link can be found below. \nSPEAKER: José A. Díaz-García \nJ. Ángel Díaz-García\, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Computer Science and AI at the University of Granada (UGR). He graduated as a Computer Engineer in 2016\, receiving an award for outstanding academic performance. Subsequently\, he ventured into the professional field as an SQL analyst at Asexor\, gaining professional experience in the private sector. In 2017\, he completed the qualifying master’s degree in Computer Engineering. During this period\, José Ángel began to specialize in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, leading him to pursue the master’s degree in Data Science at UGR\, thereby consolidating his knowledge in AI. During this time\, he made his first scientific contributions at international conferences as part of a research initiation scholarship for master’s students. After completing this second master’s degree\, he participated as a data scientist in international projects at the Universities of Oviedo and Granada. In 2019\, he was awarded an FPU scholarship from the Ministry\, marking the beginning of his doctoral studies in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP)\, which culminated in the defense of his thesis on October 27\, 2023\, with honors in international doctorate and CUM LAUDE. Throughout his research career\, he has contributed to 4 publications (JCRD Q1\, Q2) in the field of NLP and participated in 15 international and 4 national conferences. He has also collaborated on 6 projects\, including NOFACEPS\, of which he is the principal investigator\, and two international projects\, such as COPKIT\, where he contributed with a significant unsupervised sentiment analysis method. José Ángel has completed research stays at the University of Lisbon with Professor Joao Paulo Carvalho and at Imperial College London\, where he worked at the Data Science Institute with J. Amador Diaz-Lopez. As a result of the collaboration with Imperial College\, a contribution was made to an international conference in the field of misinformation in networks. Additionally\, the organization of a special session at a conference was initiated\, and currently\, this relationship continues with two publications under review. \nFinally\, it is worth highlighting the management and leadership skills demonstrated by José Ángel\, which led to the acquisition of a research project at UGR\, where he is the principal investigator\, and which concluded with the publication of the NOFACE credibility analysis system in the journal Expert Systems With Applications (JCR Q1). He was also part of the organizing committee of the FQAS 2023 international conference and the program committee of the COMS2 international conference in India. He has organized special sessions at 3 international conferences\, outreach workshops\, and given interviews on radio and in the press.
