The 113th ICREA Colloquium ‘How to solve global health challenges with a little help from data’
Speakers: ICREA Research Professors Karim Lekadir from the Universitat de Barcelona and Rachel Lowe from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center
When: 10th of December 2024, 18:00h
Where: Auditorium FCRI, Passeig de Lluís Companys, 23, 08010 Barcelona
Abstract:
In the face of escalating global challenges, from climate change to healthcare inequalities, interdisciplinary collaboration is more critical than ever. Harnessing the power of data, such as through artificial intelligence and mathematical modelling, opens up unprecedented opportunities to address these complex issues.
This seminar will highlight the intersection of data science, health care, and community engagement to provide innovative and inclusive solutions. It brings together two interdisciplinary perspectives to showcase the critical role of data in addressing complex global challenges.
Professor Karim Lekadir will discuss the potential role of artificial intelligence in developing innovative solutions to address unique healthcare challenges in low-resource settings. He will highlight how international collaboration combined with local community engagement can lead to more inclusive and reliable artificial intelligence solutions, ultimately increasing trust and adoption.
Professor Rachel Lowe will discuss how predictive models and data-driven approaches can help anticipate and mitigate the health risks posed by extreme weather and vector-borne diseases. She will showcase how these models inform public policy and enhance preparedness in at-risk regions, empowering local communities to become more resilient to climate-driven health hazards.
The 115th ICREA Colloquium ‘Toward Understanding Human Singularity: Neural and Behavioral Signatures of Reasoning Strategies in Infants and Adults’
Speakers: ICREA Research Professors Rosemarie Nagel and Luca Bonatti both from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF)
When: 29th of April 2025, 18:00h
Where: Auditorium FCRI, Passeig de Lluís Companys, 23, 08010 Barcelona
Abstract:
Humans do lots of things that make them unique among living beings. What properties of our species explain its uniqueness? While there may never be a complete answer to this question, and certainly there is not one single answer, progress has been made to try to characterize some of them. Here, we focus on the ability to take decisions under (strategic) uncertainty, and on our understanding of their neural basis. We will then explore whether signatures exist for the presence of some primitives of reasoning, perhaps already available in early infancy, which ground the ability to represent the world, conceive alternative situations, frame hypothesis, think and solve problems.
