IDAL has contributed in the conferences “Open Science for Citizens and Country Development” with a conference titled Data Science, the new environment for the forthcoming society”, presented by Rafael Magdalena and held at Aras de los Olmos (Valencia) as a session of Seasonal Universities program from the University of Valencia. This program aims to bring the public university close to the countryside of the Comunitat Valenciana, taking knowledge from researcher and Academy to country citizens. This Seasonal University deal with current news themes of interest for the country towns, and are free for residents thanks to the support of the Diputacion of Valencia.
The Seasonal Universities are a meeting point for lectures, professionals, students, technician and politicians, and also for citizens interested on their own town and country. This is an initiative open to the broad public, expecting to transfer the know-how of the university to the people, to foster the presence and commitment of the UV with the country and bring research, training and knowledge beyond the classroom.
IDAL was present at the prestigious European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning (ESANN 2020). The conference was supposed to be held in April as usual, but due to COVID-19 situation, the conference was postponed to 2nd-4th October, and eventually held online. IDAL made two contributions. José D. Martín-Guerrero organized a special session on Quantum Machine Learning with Prof. Lucas Lamata (University of Seville) and presented a tutoral on that topic. Óscar J. Pellicer-Valero presented one of the results of his PhD, in particular, a novel idea to enhance the resolution of Convolutional Neural Networks with applications to medical image segmentation.
Rafael Magdalena, IDAL member attended an interview presenting a Machine Learning introduction that will be hold within next weeks in Expociencia, the Science Fair fostered by Parc Cientific at the University of Valencia. During the Fair, prof. Emilio Soria will teach a lesson about Machine Learning to teenagers.
Like every year, the Science Park of the University of Valencia celebrates its Open Day, a celebration of science with fun activities for all ages and an opportunity to see first-hand the scientific and research activity that takes place in this space for innovation.

The IDAL group together with the PAGODA Chair of the University of Valencia has organised an online seminar on “Data Processing and Rights Guarantee”. The seminar was held on 6th October, and was attended by several experts in the field of data analysis and law, who spoke on issues related to data protection, and the use of artificial intelligence in various fields of industry and healthcare.
IDAL member José D. Martín gave the second talk of the Seminars on Mathematics for Challenges in Technology and Society MathChats at Universitat Politècnica de València (Mathchats). The talk gave an overview of classical Machine Learning and its connection with Quantum Computing and Quantum Information as the basis for Quantum Machine Learning, a novel but very active field of research: https://mathchats.webs.upv.es/2019/12/mathchat-on-friday-january-27th-machine-learning-in-the-classical-and-quantum-realms-prof-jose-d-martin-guerrero-idal-department-of-electronic-engineering-universitat-de-valencia-spain/
Past Tuesday, in the events room of the University of Valencia Science Park, was presented an e-book, edited by the University of Valencia Science Park: Ciberseguretat. El repte del segle XXI (Cibersecurity: the Challenge on XXI Century). The volume has been coordinated by Emilio Soria, IDAL member and professor at the Department of Electronic Engineering of the University of Valencia, and incorporates the opinions of experts such as Óscar Padial, computer forensic expert and partner/manager of the Valencian Institute of Cyber-security and Telematics; Hervé Falciani, professional of blockchain and president of the Whistleblowe Tactical Association; José Torres, deputy director of the Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria (ETSE-UV) and full lecturer of the department of Electronic Engineering; researchers of the R&D group Intelligent Data Analysis Laboratory of the University of Valencia as well as managers of the company specialized in Information Technologies Mobiliza Academy, among others.
Joan Vila and Fernando Mateo, members of IDAL, have contributed with a chapter of the book, that can be downloaded in the following link: Download the e-book
