Week 3 - Applied and Explainable AI in "Health, Education and Business" (Tomas Trescak) + Education in Cybersecurity at Secondary Schools in the Czech Republic (Jiří Sedláček)



1st Presentation: Applied and Explainable AI in "Health, Education and Business", Tomas Trescak


Abstract. The raise of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning launched a new industrial revolution, changing ways we perform our routine tasks on daily basis. This revolution is attributed to the immense computational power we control and the vast amount of data that we generate, allowing AI to learn from it and apply on its own goals. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) became one of the major players in this revolution, estimating $100 billion revenue on VR/AR products by 2021.
Surprisingly, the crucial connection between AR/VR and AI is currently very weak. Both technologies being very demanding on resources, renders most AI applications impossible to use in AR/VR. Therefore, we need to seek new ways, empowering our tasks with visual power of mixed realities with help from Artificial Intelligence to reduce our cognitive overload and help with decision making in high-stress situations such as cyber security, space exploration, data analytics, healthcare, simulations and much more.  
Tomas’s research flows through several realities, virtual, augmented and the real one, seeking new ways with Artificial Intelligence to facilitate complex cognitive tasks in simulation, education, health care, cyber security and social sciences.

In this short talk Tomas will introduce several projects and initiatives that he is participating in including:

  • Computational Creativity
  • VR for education and platform for maintaining cultural heritage
  • Gamification of teaching processes
  • From sick-care to health-care
  • VR for palliative care and chronic pain treatment
  • Passing the Turing test … with Tanks
  • Reaching cognitive overload in XR head-mounted display in combat simulations
  • Semantic networks for management of corporate processes
  • Explainable AI systems for end users
  • Predicting user behaviour in cyber sensitive systems
