Accelerating the selection of potential sources of antibiotics using artificial intelligence is one of the goals of ABRoad. This project is the result of a partnership between InflamAlps, a pharmaceutical R&D company, and Idiap. Supported by The Ark Foundation, this innovative project aims to develop a digital platform enabling the selection of potential sources of antibiotics.
Reasoning & Explainable AI
We operate at the interface between neural and symbolic AI methods aiming to enable the next generation of explainable, data-efficient and safe AI systems. Our research investigates how the combination of latent and explicit data representation paradigms can deliver better inference over data.
Our current research areas include:
- Inference & Explanations
- Natural language inference
- Abstractive inference
- Explanation generation
- Explainable question answering
- Scientific inference & explanations
- Neuro-symbolic models
- Multi-hop reasoning
- Semantic control
- Semantic probing
- Extraction & Representation
- Sentence & discourse representation
- Open information extraction
- Knowledge Graphs
- Scalable Knowledge-based inference
- AI applications in cancer research
Group News
Idiap Research Institute and the School of Engineering at EPFL invite applications for the directorship of Idiap. The successful candidate will also hold a faculty position as full professor at EPFL School of Engineering.
Idiap is developing its research capacities by hiring four new senior researchers. Two women and two men, whose goal will be to work on topics with great potential in AI and to continue to progress in areas that have already contributed to the reputation of the institute.
