PROGRAM
Workshop Structure
This full-day workshop will consist of three distinct components:
Presentation of nine peer-reviewed papers (Reviews performed by members of the PC).
Two keynote speakers (one morning and one afternoon), one from academia, one from industry.
Panel discussion among four experts in the field plus one moderator, on a seminal topic such as the AI vs. IA prospects for ChatGPT or a similar large language model-based resource.
Pre-Workshop Gathering
It has been a long-standing tradition at these workshops to have a no-host pre-workshop dinner, typically on the Sunday evening before the workshop. This year, we are planning to hold the dinner on Sunday evening, June 18th. The venue will be in downtown Braga, which is an easy trip from the University conference hotel, and an easier one if you are staying downtown! We will contact registrants via email, and will post information on this workshop Program page as well. We hope to see you there!
Pre-workshop Dinner
Venue: Porta Nova Collection House, Braga
