Simulated Self-Directed Growth of Human Tissue – IIIM Open Day Presentation

Image6-web In this presentation Guðrún Fema Ólafsdóttir, research assistant at IIIM, is introducing her project on simulated self-directed growth of human tissue. She aspires to create a new method for creating simulations of complex processes in the absence of a full mathematical model. Results of this project could benefit not only scientific but also medical understanding of biological processes.

This presentation is part of a series of presentations that were held on IIIM & CADIA Open Day in spring 2013.  Continue reading Simulated Self-Directed Growth of Human Tissue – IIIM Open Day Presentation

IIIM & CADIA Open Day video presentation – A New Kind of AI by Dr. Kristinn R. Thórisson

Image0-web During his presentation Dr. Kristinn R. Thórisson introduced the RU-led, EU-funded HUMANOBS project that produced a radically new approach to machine learning. Rooted in cybernetics, this approach allows computer agents to learn complex tasks by observation, without the detailed information needed up-front in prior approaches.

IIIM at Vísindavaka (Researchers’ Night) on Friday, September 27

visindavaka-2013It is our pleasure to invite you to visit us during the annual Vísindavaka on September 27, 2013. This year’s event, hosted by Rannís, will be held at Háskólabíó from 5 – 10 pm.

IIIM has been participating in this exciting event since 2010. This year we will have an interactive technology on site. One of our projects – LivingShadows – will be presented at our booth in Háskólabíó as an interactive display so that visitors can get a feel for the larger-scale setup of the project that we have at Reykjavík University.
