Workshop on Cognitive Assistants and Data Fusion (CogniBlend)

Scope

CogniBlend is a workshop that will bring together experts from academia to discuss the latest advances in intelligent systems. Topics to be covered include, among others, Federated Learning, Robotics in Healthcare, Precision Agriculture, Classification using advanced image analysis techniques, and the emerging concept of Digital Twins.

Participants will gain insights into the challenges, opportunities, and realworld applications of these technologies. The workshop will also address Perceptual Comparison, Uncertainty, and Aggregation Theory, providing a comprehensive perspective on cutting-edge advancements in learning and decision-making frameworks.

Join us at CogniBlend to explore the landscape of intelligent systems and their practical implications in various sectors.

Key Themes

  • Cognitive Assistants: Explore the frontiers of AI-powered cognitive assistants designed to augment human capabilities, enhance decision-making processes, and seamlessly integrate with various domains. From healthcare to smart environments, delve into the applications reshaping the way we interact with intelligent systems. 
  • Data Fusion: Examine the details of data fusion, where diverse data sources converge to improve understanding of complex scenarios. The discussions will cover techniques, challenges, and breakthroughs in integrating and interpreting information, acknowledging inherent uncertainty.
