SUMMARY:I-X Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Dr Pasquale Minervini (University of Edinburgh) will be delivering the next I-X seminar\, entitled “Integrating Symbolic Algorithms in Neural Models (and LLMs)”. \nSeminar Summary \nNeural models\, including LLMs\, can exhibit remarkable abilities; paradoxically\, they also struggle with algorithmic tasks where much simpler models excel. To solve these issues\, we propose Implicit Maximum Likelihood Estimation (IMLE)\, a framework for end-to-end learning of models combining algorithmic combinatorial solvers and differentiable neural components\, which allows us to incorporate planning and reasoning algorithms in neural architectures by just adding a simple decorator. Finally\, we’ll discuss some very recent extensions of these ideas for making LLMs teach themselves how to use tools. \nHybrid event: I-X LRT608A level 6 (I-HUB) & via Teams \n

SUMMARY:I-X Seminar: "Open-Endedness and General Intelligence"
DESCRIPTION:Join I-X for the next event in its seminar series. Hear Professor Tim Rocktäschel (UCL/Google DeepMind) deliver a key talk entitled “Open-Endedness and General Intelligence”. \nSeminar Summary \nIn this talk\, Tim Rocktäschel will speak about his work towards developing increasingly capable and general AI. Central to this research direction is Open-Endedness: the attempt to create an AI that endlessly improves and expands its capabilities. In particular\, this talk will focus on three areas: training autonomous and robust agents that can set themselves problems and goals\, training large-scale world models which can provide AIs with endless environments to learn in\, and lastly\, the connection of Open-Endedness methods to Large Language Models to develop AI that can improve itself. \nHybrid event:  I-X LRT608A level 6 (I-HUB) & via Teams \n

SUMMARY:I-X Seminar: Logically-Consistent Deep Learning
DESCRIPTION:Join I-X for the next event in its popular seminar series. Dr Antonio Vergari (University of Edinburgh) will be delivering a talk entitled “Logically-Consistent Deep Learning”. \nHybrid location:  I-X LRT608A level 6 (I-HUB) & via Teams \nSeminar Summary \nGuaranteeing the safety and reliability of deep learning models is of crucial importance\, especially in many high-stake application scenarios. In this lecture\, I will focus on the key challenge of designing probabilistic deep learning models that are reliable and yet efficient by design. I will do so within the framework of probabilistic circuits: overparametrized and computational graphs that are just neural networks with lots of structure\, enough to guarantee the tractable computation of the probabilistic reasoning scenarios of interest\, while not compromising their expressiveness. Second\, I will discuss how we can use circuits to build a reliable foundation for neuro-symbolic AI. That is\, for example\, to provably satisfy certain constraints we can express in propositional logic in neural networks as to increase their performance and robustness. These models can be thought of being “verified by design” and I will showcase some recent applications of this constraint satisfaction by design e.g.\, scaling link prediction in graphs with millions of nodes and when constraints are both on continuous and discrete domains.

SUMMARY:I-X Research Talk: Bayesian Structure Learning: Empowering Policy Through Causal Inference with Dr Roman Marchant
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores how Bayesian Structure Learning supports evidence-based policy\, drawing on research from the Human Technology Institute (HTI) and the Thrive program. Professor Marchant will begin by introducing their methodological cycle\, which integrates Bayesian Networks (BNs)\, structure learning\, expert knowledge\, and community co-design to inform decisions in complex social settings. \nAssuming familiarity with BNs\, Professor Marchant will focus on recent advances in causal discovery—covering models\, inference algorithms\, and sequential decision-making strategies. Case studies in childhood obesity\, mental health\, and education demonstrate how these methods reveal actionable distinctions between proximal and upstream causes\, enabling more targeted interventions. \nProfessor Marchant will also discuss key methodological challenges\, such as population heterogeneity and the need for mixtures of BNs to yield nuanced\, individualised insights. In addition\, he will highlight the emerging role of Large Language Models (LLMs) in leveraging unstructured text data to inform causal models. He will conclude with a forward-looking view on the role of Bayesian approaches in creating adaptive\, context-sensitive policy tools that are both rigorous and socially responsive. \nLocation: Hybrid Event: In-person & On-line (via MS Teams)\nI-X Conference Room | Level 5 |  Translation and Innovation Hub (I-HUB)

SUMMARY:Creative Disruption: AI & Next-Gen Therapies - What’s coming in 2026?
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to shake up the future of AI\, advanced therapies\, and biologics at #CreativeDisruption – it’s going to be truly thought-provoking! \n\n\n\n\nWant to hear what sector’s most influential thinkers say about where AI and next-gen therapies are heading in 2026? \nAI is rapidly reshaping emerging biotech\, advanced therapies and biologics in the UK. Machine learning now enables the analysis of large and complex datasets\, supporting the discovery of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets and improving the modelling of biological responses. This leads to more precise and better targeted biologics and advanced therapies. \nUK biotech organisations are also forming deeper partnerships with technology companies to access advanced data analytics and embed AI more effectively into research pipelines.
