AI Happy Hour | Using AI to Detect the Unusual
Offline
Join us for an evening of networking and discover how AI detects anomalies in everyday behavior at our AI Happy Hour event! This in-person event will take place on Monday 25 November at 17:30 in the FARI Test and Experience Center (Cantersteen 16, 1000 Brussels).
Patrick Van der Spiegel -PhD candidate at FARI and VUB’s Artificial Intelligence Lab – will explain how we define normal behavior, use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to spot anomalies, and the impact of mistakes.
Description of the session:
Identifying significant deviations from normal behaviour plays a growing role in our everyday lives, often without us realising it. This raises key questions: What defines ‘normal’ behaviour? When does a deviation in this behaviour become significant? Where do these anomalies come from, and how should we respond to them? In this session, we will demystify the use of AI in anomaly detection using everyday examples and discuss what happens when things go wrong.
Is this for you? Administrators, industry professionals and AI enthusiasts are invited to join this session.
A balanced mix of learning and relaxation – Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in insightful discussions with Patrick, followed by a casual happy hour with snacks and beverages!
This event is free to attend, but registration is compulsory.
Patrick Van der Spiegel
Patrick Van der Spiegel is a PhD candidate at the FARI Institute and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel’s Artificial Intelligence Lab. Mr. Van der Spiegel completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s in Computer Science, specializing in artificial intelligence, at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Mr Van der Spiegel’s research focused on the intersection of AI and cybersecurity. He collaborated with research and industry partners to develop transparent and interpretable models and algorithms.
He is also interested in applications of AI to other areas with a profound impact on society, including healthcare and sustainability. By combining technical expertise with a broader perspective on societal challenges, he aspires to contribute to innovative solutions for the common good.
He currently works on a new interdisciplinary research project in collaboration with the AIMS research group, combining AI and neuroscience to develop new and interpretable ways of modeling functional connectivity within brains. Through this research, they hope to improve our understanding of the impact of Multiple Sclerosis on brain functioning.
About the AI Happy Hours
The AI Happy Hours are workshop sessions that will be held every last Monday of the month, starting at 17:30 pm and finishing at 19:00 pm. These sessions will provide an appetizer of what Al, data and robotics has to offer, how it can benefit citizens, administrators & companies in day-to-day life and how to safeguard sustainability, compliance and responsible use of these technologies.
This event is organized by FARI – AI for the Common Good Institute.
