Last week I was off to Macau, China for attending IJCAI 2019 one of the world top level conferences in Artificial Intelligence. In particular, I was invited to submit and attend the pre-conference workshop AI & Multimodal Analytics for Education (AIMA4EDU). I also attended another workshop on Human Activity Recognition, a Tutorial on TensorFlow2.0 and some the main conference presentations.

#JTELSS19 a Summer School to remember

(picture by Bibeg Limbu)

Took me a while to wrap my thoughts about JTELSS19 what I believe was the best summer school I ever been so far - the 15th EATEL Summer School (jTELSS19) https://ea-tel.eu/jtelss/jtelss2019/

The summer school is the European event for junior researchers in the field of educational technologies, and it gathered 87 PhD students and senior researchers from 23 countries.

The event took place in the first week of June 1 - 8th June in Giovinazzo, Bari, Italy and this time, I had the pleasure of being the local chair organising the logistics and organisational aspects of the summer school.

Beijing conference AI and Adaptive Education

24-25th May I travelled to Beijing in China to present at the conference AI and Adaptive Education 2019 (AIAED 2019). I was invited by some Chinese-American researchers whom I met at the LAK'19 conference in Arizona.

AIAED (not to be confused with AIED) conference was organised for the third year in a row by the company Squirrel AI. It gathered 3000 attendees in the impressive location of the Beijing World Trade centre.
