HCF Presence at DaKM 2024 in Copenhagen
We are delighted to announce that Paul Knowles, Head of the Advisory Council at the Human Colossus Foundation (HCF) and co-founder of the Foundation, will attend the 9th International Conference on Data Mining & Knowledge Management (DaKM 2024) in Copenhagen, Denmark, on the 21st-22nd September 2024.
DaKM 2024, September 21-22, 2024, Copenhagen, Denmark
Paper Presentation
In addition to his active role at HCF, Paul will present his paper titled "Data-Centric Design: Introducing an Informatics Domain Model and Core Data Ontology for Computational Systems."
This paper marks a significant leap forward in redefining system architectures through the Informatics Domain Model and Core Data Ontology (CDO), promoting a shift from traditional node-centric designs to a data-centric paradigm. These models enhance data security, semantic interoperability, and scalability across distributed data ecosystems with their quadrimodal domain structure: objects, events, concepts, and actions.
You can find further details and the abstract of the paper here.
Session 3 Chair
As part of his contribution to DaKM 2024, Paul has been invited to chair Session 3. The session will cover various topics, from AI-powered assistive technologies to virtual reality and intelligent community-driven platforms. It promises to explore cutting-edge solutions with potential applications in HCF's ongoing initiatives around distributed data ecosystems and AI development.
Paul will oversee discussions on the following topics during Session 3 at DaKM 2024:
Topic 1: An Immersion Sailing Experience and Simulation Feedback System for Disabled People using Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality – Presented by HoiNi Yeung and Ang Li, this talk will showcase a virtual reality sailing simulator designed to help individuals with disabilities practise sailing in a realistic environment using AI and VR technology.
Topic 2: An Intelligent Robot Arm used to Automate Chores to Eliminate Time Waste using Computer Vision – Presented by Yifei Zhang and Jonathan Sahagun, this presentation will cover the use of computer vision and AI to automate household tasks, improving adaptability and efficiency in daily chores.
Topic 3: Enhancing Indoor Environments through Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence for Personalised Plant Integration – Presented by Yingqi Wang and Marisabel Chang, discover how AR and AI are used in PlantAR to enhance indoor environments by providing personalised plant recommendations, promoting better air quality and well-being.
Topic 4: A Smart Community-Driven Tutoring Mobile Platform using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning – Presented by Haoyun Yang and Yu Cao, this platform leverages AI for personalised quizzes, encouraging peer-to-peer learning and technological innovation in education.
Topic 5: An Intelligent System to Help Individuals with Mobility Issues Crack Eggs using an App and a Bluetooth-Connected Mechanical Device – Presented by Alexander Xu and Jonathan Sahagun, a Bluetooth-enabled device designed to help individuals with mobility issues by automating egg-cracking using machine learning.
Topic 6: Medifact: A Reliable Mobile Application for Combating Medical Misinformation using Verified Data Sources – Presented by Annabel Shen Tu and Andrew Park, this mobile app tackles the spread of medical misinformation through verified health data and AI-driven validation processes.
Topic 7: An Intelligent Mobile Platform to Recognise and Translate Sign Language using Advanced Language Models and Machine Learning – Presented by Arlene Chang and Jonathan Sahagun, this platform translates American Sign Language (ASL) into English and vice versa, bridging communication gaps between Deaf and hearing individuals using AI.
Topic 8: A Smart Medicine Mobile Platform for Injury Diagnosis and Mental Stress Management using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning – Presented by Zelin Jason Hu and Garret Washburn, this mobile app provides AI-generated injury diagnoses and mental stress management solutions, improving accessibility to healthcare.
Topic 9: A Policy Report Evaluating the National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) Reform in Australia – Presented by Wenya Zhang, a critical evaluation of the NAPLAN reform, focusing on its impact on students and proposing policy improvements for standardised testing in Australia.
