DataScientia to host its annual workshop at University of Trento (Italy) with partner universities across the world, from Europe, to Asia, to Africa and South America.
Every year, DataScientia invites all partners to an event to share past experiences and plan new initiatives. This year’s focus is on the creation of the DataScientia Community, aiming to strengthen exchanges between partners and encourage new users to join the
journey. The event will also feature the presentation of new initiatives in Education, including the Everyday AI project promoted by the Open University of Cyprus and Jahna Otterbacher, designed to train non-experts in understanding and using AI consciously.
Furthermore, discussions will cover projects related to the collection and management of language data (this year, more than 2000 languages have been mapped!) led by Gabor Bella from IMT Atlantique, and a study on people’s lifestyles and behaviors.
