Artificial intelligence: current limitations and promising research
Language: Spanish
Speakers: Jesús (Txus) López Lobo and Alejandro Barredo Arrieta
Company: Tecnalia

How an algorithm can learn to write books with deep learning techniques
Language: Spanish
Speaker: Alex Rayón Jerez
Company: Universidad de Deusto
Description of the session:
Deep learning algorithms are techniques that stand out within machine learning due to their capacity to imitate how the human brain learns and infers. Within this field we can highlight RNN or Recurrent Neuronal Networks which can be associated with the temporal lobe, which handles long-term memory. In this talk we will learn how to use these RNN techniques through LSTM networks; a means of combining neural networks with memory that allows past predictions to be recalled to facilitate future learning. This helps to facilitate a historically complex field for traditional algorithms such as message writing (widely used, for example in chatbots). We can thus start thinking about the possibility of writing personalised messages based on the style that we learn during interaction with a person.
Who is the target audience?
Technical, functional and analytical (diverse and quite transversal).
Brief Speaker CV:
Alex Rayón Jerez (Bilbao, 1984) is the director of Deusto BigData and a lecturer in the engineering faculty at Deusto University.

Language: Spanish
Speaker: Gorka Oteiza
Company: SoundTrackFest
Description of the session:
La Inteligencia Atificial aplicada a las tareas que tradicionalmente se han considerado "artísticas, creativas y abstractas", es un mundo con infinitas posibilidades por explorar. En esta charla hablaremos del aspecto relacionado con la música para el audiovisual: la música aplicada al cine, TV y los videojuegos. ¿Puede una IA sustituir a un compositor y generar música 'de la nada'? ¿Puede imitar un estilo determinado? ¿Es posible completar obras inacabadas de la música clásica? ¿Pueden las series, realitys y programas de televisión episódicos beneficiarse de la música generada 'al vuelo' por un ordenador? ¿Es posible que la IA de un juego pueda ir construyendo su música de forma personalizada, en función de los gustos del jugador y de la dinámica y la historia del juego? ¿Qué ocurre con los derechos de autor de las obras generadas por un ordenador? ¿A quién pertenecen? A lo largo de la ponencia, intentaremos abordar estas y otras cuestiones que puedan ser de interés en este apasionante múndo de la música "que no sólo se escucha, sino que se ve".
