Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) may revolutionize the way humans interact with computers by establishing a direct communication pathway with our brains. At the core of these interfaces there is signal processing, which plays a pivotal role in extracting valuable information from brain activity. In this post, we delve into the fascinating world of signal processing …
In today’s fast paced and fast changing world, making quick and informed decisions for resolving challenges is essential. This requires a solid understanding and knowledge about a specific topic, be it financial, business related, medical, or for security reasons. Decision making is the process of making choices by identifying a need, gathering information, and assessing …
Last week we had a two-day plenary meeting in beautiful Braunsweich (Germany), where the main headquarters of AEGIS are. AEGIS organized a really good meeting, including a dinner! It’s reassuring to see how the team is growing and how the project progresses.
Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV), have brought us closer to emulating and even surpassing human capabilities. The development of transformer neural architectures like chatGPT and latent diffusion models like MidJourney has had a profound impact on the field. The rapid progress of AI has …

Adaptive User Interfaces (AUIs) are those user interfaces, mostly graphical, that can adapt themselves (Findlater and Gajos, 2009) depending on varying conditions from the end user (e.g., preferences), the platform (e.g., the screen resolution), or the environment (e.g., a noise level or a location). In this area, adaptive layout refers to the ability of a …
We are pleased to announce our very first joint publication! It is an academic paper where we introduce the SYMBIOTIK framework together with an extensive discussion of the current challenges and opportunities for adaptive user interfaces. Here is the abstract: User interface adaptations for Information Visualisation (InfoVis) have yet to unlock their potential in critical …

Adaptive User Interfaces (AUIs), a well-known research sub-field within Intelligent User Interfaces (IUIs), were defined by Maybury (1999) as “human-computer interfaces that aim to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and naturalness of interaction by representing, reasoning, and acting on models of the user, domain, task, discourse, and media (e.g., graphics, natural language, gesture)”. User interface adaptation …

Automation is at the heart of most technologies we use in our daily life, with applications ranging from automotive (e.g., manual vs. automatic transmission system and autopilots) and household appliances (e.g., kettle, washing machine) to industrial machinery and healthcare systems (e.g., patient monitoring, autonomous surgery). Reducing the need for human intervention in automated processes brings …

The European Innovation Council hosted its flagship event on 7-8 December 2022 in Brussels. All SYMBIOTIK PIs attended the event. The summit was a great event for networking. We met some colleagues we haven’t seen in 2-3 years (because of COVID), so it was totally worth it. We also leveraged this opportunity to attend the …
The consortium PIs and members met for the first time on October 10, 2022. We had lots of interesting discussions and are eager to start working together! We also hosted Francisco Melo from Luxinnovation, the National Contact Point for Horizon Europe. Francisco gave a presentation about his team and their work.
