Students from Applied Mathematics and Computation Awarded Gulbenkian Novos Talentos Scholarships

14/11/2025

Three students from the Applied Mathematics and Computation (MAC) programme are among the eleven from Instituto Superior Técnico awarded the Gulbenkian Novos Talentos scholarships for 2025. This program, funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, aims to support promising young talent to help them excel in their academic journeys. This achievement recognizes our students’ strong potential and commitment to mathematics.

These students will receive a valuable opportunity to engage in research projects under the supervision of our faculty. We extend our sincere congratulations to the winners and wish them every success as they continue to develop their skills and contribute to the future of applied mathematics and computation.

INESC-ID Invited Lecture — Sylvain Kubler

29/10/2025 14:00

@ Sala 336 INESC-ID

Please join us for a lecture by Sylvain Kubler from the University of Luxembourg. This talk is highly relevant for students considering a Master’s thesis or PIC in AI and smart manufacturing.

Toward Trustworthy AI in Smart Manufacturing: From Data Augmentation to Explainable Chatbots

Abstract: Applying AI in manufacturing remains challenging due to the complex,dynamic, and heterogeneous nature of industrial data, often affected by sensor noise, multimodal signals, and data scarcity. Beyond performance, companies increasingly demand trustworthy AI solutions that ensure robustness, transparency, and meaningful human oversight.

In this seminar, Dr. Sylvain Kubler and Pierre Glandon will present recent research initiatives conducted in collaboration with industrial partners. The talk will cover advances in data augmentation techniques for generating high-quality synthetic time series data to address imbalance and scarcity in production and maintenance contexts, as well as novel relation triplet extraction (RTE) methods designed to enhance Graph RAG–based LLM pipelines. These developments aim to improve explainability and reliability when dealing with domain-specific, error-prone, and jargon-heavy manufacturing text data.

João Ribeiro wins an ERC!

03/09/2025

João Ribeiro received a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) worth approximately €1.5 million to develop new techniques for studying channels with loss of synchronization—a particular case of communication errors where, for example, some digits may be dropped from the final message, making it difficult to compare with the initial message. Loss of synchronization errors appear in cutting-edge data storage systems, particularly in DNA data storage systems, a promising solution due to their high density and durability.

IARML@IJCAI2025
4th Workshop on the Interactions between Analogical Reasoning and Machine Learning

16/08/2025 — 22/08/2025

@ Montreal, Canadá

This workshop explores analogical reasoning — a core cognitive skill involving knowledge transfer across domains — and its applications in AI, from traditional symbolic methods to modern neural techniques like LLMs. It aims to unite researchers from machine learning, NLP, and knowledge representation to advance analogical reasoning in AI and vice versa. The goal is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration to deepen understanding and innovation in this foundational aspect of cognition and machine intelligence.
