Project title: Autonomous Learning of the Meaning of Objects
-
Other partners: University of Birmingham (United Kingdom), Technische Universität Wien (Austria), Inria Sophia Antipolis Méditerranée (France).

Abstract: The goal of ALOOF is to significantly advance the ability of today’s autonomous systems to adapt to ever changing, dynamic real world environments by enabling them to learn about the meaning of objects from resources accessible through the Web. In ALOOF we focus on objects and the knowledge gaps a service robot will encounter about them. The fundamental contribution is to enable robots to translate between the representations they use in their situated experience and those on the Web.

Abstract: The MIREL project will create an international and inter-sectorial network to define a formal framework and to develop tools for MIning and REasoning with Legal texts, with the aim of translating these legal texts into formal representations that can be used for querying norms, compliance checking, and decision support. MIREL addresses both conceptual challenges, such as the role of legal interpretation in mining and reasoning, and computational challenges, such as the handling of big legal data, and the complexity of regulatory compliance. It bridges the gap between the community working on legal ontologies and NLP parsers and the community working on reasoning methods and formal logic. Moreover, it is the first project of its kind to involve industrial partners in the future development of innovative products and services in legal reasoning and their deployment in the market. MIREL promotes mobility and staff exchange between SMEs to academies in order to create an inter-continental interdisciplinary consortium in Law and Artificial Intelligence areas including Natural Language Processing, Computational Ontologies, Argumentation, and Logic & Reasoning.
