Richard Jonker, PhD student at IEETA, was at ECIR 2026 presenting BioGraphletQA, a framework for systematically generating complex, factually-grounded Question Answering (QA) data. The core of this framework is a novel graphlet-anchored generation process, where small subgraphs from a Knowledge Graph are used as a factual base to control the complexity and ensure the grounding […]
Title: Data Compression and Large Language Models – University of Aveiro, PT Abstract: The use of large language models (LLMs) has seen a meteoric rise since the introduction of the transformer neural network architecture. In one of its configurations, known as decoder-only, a transformer operates as a next token (or symbol) predictor. Because prediction is […]
Title: Discovering New Science using Agentic Collaborative Networks Abstract: This presentation will explore how AI agents can evolve from narrow tools of automation into genies – adaptive and multi-capable collaborators that expand human creativity and agency. This talk will outline the essential capabilities these agents must develop and present 101 fundamental ML questions that must […]
