Tilak Purohit and Barbara Ruvolo, contributing to Idiap’s AI for Life research program, won the 1st prize at the Lemanic Life Science Hackathon organized at EPFL at the end of April 2024. The team also included EPFL Life Science bachelor's students Alexandra Psaltis, Jia Xian Jennifer Shan, and Elise Boyer Their outcome is an AI-enabled user interface prototype to support the detection of depression via speech.
We are thrilled to announce that, for the third consecutive year, the Idiap Research Institute will participate on May 14th in the annual Pint of Science Valais Festival, taking place from May 13th to May 15th 2024. This worldwide event, renowned for its commitment to making science accessible to all, aligns perfectly with the institute’s mission to engage and inspire the broader public about the potentials and advancements in Artificial Intelligence.
Understanding and explaining how AI works is key to build trust and have better human-AI collaborations. In partnership with researchers from Lausanne, Zurich, and Adelaide, our colleague Damien Teney published an article providing a fresh explanation of neural networks’ capabilities.
Each year the institute gives two awards to distinguish two of its students. In 2023, the Best Paper Award went to Tobias Löw, and the Student Award to Hatef Otroshi Shahreza. Congratulations!
