isws

ISWS is a full immersion, super intensive one-week experience including lectures and keynotes from outstanding speakers, a “learning by doing” teamwork program on open research problems, under the guidance of the best scientists in the field, with whom you will co-author a white paper of high potential impact.

Dear registered students for ISWS 2025, please keep in mind that the deadline for the poster submission is not far away...
We are looking forward to your submissions!

Poster of the ISWS 2024 summer school. The image is of a poster affixed to a fence, highlighting topics related to scientific research. The poster discusses the "VIEWSARI Knowledge Graph 1.0" and references Giorgio Vasari's perspectives on his new renaissance in art and science. There seems to be a focus on ontology mapping within this context as well as recognition of works related to different figures or concepts such as Panoisky's theories or methodologies (referred to as lemeks). The overall theme suggests an evolution or advancement in understanding scientific knowledge through a graphical representation, emphasizing both historical and contemporary insights into various works recognized within this field.

Yes, we also have a running group in the mornings. But beware, Bertinoro lies in beautiful Emilia Romagna....and this also means "hills" to climb ;-)

Early morning at Bertinoro castle, view towards Rimini and the Adriatic Sea (at the far end of the horizon). Following the antique philosophy of "mens sana in corpore sano", a typical ISWS morning starts with a little sports outside....

View from outside Bertinoro castle towards East. The sun has just risen. Early morning. There is still mist over the beautiful landscape of Emilia Romagna, towards Rimini at the Adriatic sea. On the left we see some of the old fortress murals on which already some bushes of grass are growing. In front, we see a small terrace. The floor is overgrown with grass.

...and we also have very good coffee at Bertinoro castle ;-)

Every ISWS student is asked to provide a poster illustrating her/his research. We are organising poster sessions on two days so that students can get valuable feedback (a) from all tutors as well as (b) from their peers. Tutors will discuss all posters and select candidates for "Best Poster" awards ;-)

#isws2025 #summerschool #semanticweb #semweb #eswc2025 #poster

Poster Title: "Music Composition as a Co-Creation Process Between Artists and AI" (Nicolas Lazzar, supervised by Valentina Presutti).

Description: A comic-strip narrative depicts the evolving human-AI relationship in music—from fear ("I'm afraid of what I don’t understand") to collaboration ("Astonishing!"). Dark, muted visuals show people with computers, instruments, and chess games symbolizing interaction.

Sections:
Future Work & Preliminary Results: Panels on music theory, ontology, and AI-assisted generation, with QR codes.

Logos: STLab, Future AI Research, Universities of Pisa & Bologna.

Mood: Academic yet artistic, hopeful about AI’s role in music despite initial apprehension.
