Event Details

Join us for an exciting update on current research and developments in the dynamic and diverse field of intelligent systems! The symposium will take place virtually on 22 July 2021 and will bring together experts from academia and industry.

The idea of intelligent computer systems has come a long way; originating in the realm of science-fiction writers of the early 20^th century, mid-century artificial intelligence concepts developed slowly but steadily into complex advanced AI systems providing, e.g., image and speech recognition to a wide range of applications. Today, many companies and developers market such AI-based products and services as intelligent computer systems, or at least, they are often perceived as such by the public. In fact, most people are the subject of learning algorithms at least once a day, for example, while browsing social media or interacting with their mobile devices.

The Leipzig Symposium on Intelligent Systems (LEISYS) aims to bring researchers from a diverse set of backgrounds together, to facilitate discussions about applications and risks of intelligent systems, as well as methods to develop such systems. The expertise of the speakers at the symposium covers, among other topics, Machine Learning, Logic, Cognitive Systems, and Formal Methods. The programme is available here.

The symposium will take place on July 22, 2021, between 13:00 and 19:00 (BST).

We encourage listeners from all backgrounds of Computer Science to attend and participate in the discussions.

LEISYS is organised by the School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University in Leipzig, the new branch campus of Lancaster University in the heart of Europe.

General Chairs: Thomas Schmid, Sven Linker

Local Organiser: Wiebke Lamer
