Desde la coordinación del Máster en Ciencia de Datos e Ingeniería de Computadores nos es grato anunciar una nueva actividad de alto nivel formativo, encuadrada dentro del ciclo de seminarios complementarios propuestos a lo largo del curso. En esta ocasión, contaremos con la presencia del investigador Ulises Cortés del “Barcelona Supercomputing Center” BSC.
Resumen de la charla: In this talk, I will delve into the diverse and cutting-edge research conducted by the High-Performance Artificial Intelligence group. Our journey will take us from the realm of Autonomous Agents to the development of Foundational Models, showcasing the breadth and depth of our work in the field of AI using a High-Performance tool as MareNostrum 4.
– Curriculum breve: Ulises Cortés is a Full-Professor and Researcher of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). He has been at UPC since 1982 (tenured since 1988 and habilitated as a Full-Professor since 2006), working on several areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Computer Science Department, including knowledge acquisition for and concept formation in knowledge-based systems, as well as on machine learning and in autonomous intelligent agents.
Since 2017, Professor Cortés has been the founder and scientific manager of the High-Performance Artificial Intelligence group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. He is a founding member of the Ethical Committee of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (2019), appointed until 2027. Since 1989, Professor Cortés and his group have been applying their work in Artificial Intelligence to Environmental Sciences, particularly Wastewater Treatment Plants, with the financial support of CICyT, CIRIT and the European Union.He is a co-founder of SISLTECH and a member of its Board of Directors from 2011 until 2016. In collaboration with the Hospital de la Santa Creu I Sant Pau from 1999 until 2007, Ulises worked on developing and deploying CARREL: An Agent Mediated Institution for the Exchange of Human Tissues among Hospitals for Transplantation». Moreover, in collaboration with Hospital Santa Lucia (Rome) and the University of Málaga since 2001, he has been developing and deploying e-Tools: Assistive technologies for the disabled and the new generation of senior citizens. Since 1991, he has been the Artificial Intelligence PhD program coordinator for the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Since 2012, Prof. Cortés has been Deputy vice-rector for European Research or the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. From 2007 until 2012, Professor Cortés was the Academic Coordinator of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. He has been the Academic Coordinator for the Inter-university Master programme on Artificial Intelligence since 2011 (he was from 2005 to 2010) and was appointed vice-dean for International Relations at Barcelona School of Informatics from 1993 to 1998. Professor Cortés advised 25 Ph.D. Thesis two of them have been awarded the EurAI AI Dissertation Award, and more than 20 Master Thesis in the field of Artificial Intelligence, and has more than 70 papers in international journals and more than 200 papers in Conferences and Workshops in the same period. Several of his former PhD students are now internationally known AI scientists. Since 2021, he has been a member of the EurAi Board and member of the AEPIA executive board, and a member of GPAI: Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence. Since 2023, he has been a member of Barcelona’s Advisory Committee on AI Ethics and Digital Rights.In 2023, Universitat de Girona awarded him a Doctor Honoris Causa degree.
