Creativity + AI: Publishing
The rapid expansion of AI is impacting and changing the publishing industry. We will be asking a panel of publishers, authors and librarians to reflect on the pace of change in the sector, and where they see opportunities emerging for their work. We will be asking how best we can take advantage of new technologies and how new technologies are taking...
ELLIS Workshop on Misinformation Detection
The rise of the internet and social media has significantly accelerated the spread of misinformation, posing serious societal challenges. While large language models (LLMs) offer new opportunities for misinformation detection, they also enable the creation of increasingly convincing false information, blurring the line between truth and deception. This...

Advances in the quality of X-ray...
Training Course on In situ experiments and Digital Volume Correlation
Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful experimental technique that computes 3D full-field displacement and strain maps from volumes images acquired during a deformation process of a material. DVC is the 3D extension of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) which was first described four decades ago. The emergence of DVC started early 2000s with...
