Last week, I had the privilege of discussing #privacy washing with an incredible and diverse group at #Dagstuhl. The conversations were eye-opening, and recent news keeps reminding us why this issue matters:

Look what I just found at #Dagstuhl @savetheAI
Guess I won’t have coffee then. Gotta keep those shrimp Jesuses coming! #saveTheAI
Computer-Using Agents (CUA) enable users to automate increasingly complex tasks. As many potential tasks require personal data, we propose Computer-Using Personal Agents (CUPAs) that have access to an external repository of the user’s personal data.

#dagstuhl discussions on explainability - it is not enough to obtain an explanation (and sometimes they don’t matter to the customer, but only to the ml engineer for debugging and correctness), but also to challenge the nature of the decision. The decision rules are not set in …
#Dagstuhl - how to understand semantic loss etc regularisation in terms of desired neural network distribution? Cf our recent paper using information geometry

#dagstuhl for ice breaker and introductions, we are asking ppl to give details on a failed research project - things have ranged from intractability of constraint query languages to nesy semantics to formal models of loss functions and nesy architectures
#Dagstuhl discussions: What’s the relation between independence constraints in NeSy vs reasoning shortcuts vs data/knowledge divide vs providing more labelled data thereby eliminating all these issues

Thank you all for a great week in #Dagstuhl, here's the traditional photo
On the way to #Dagstuhl. Looking forward to a great week discussing "Trust and Accountability in Knowledge Graph-Based AI for Self Determination". Thank you John Domingue Luis-Daniel Ibáñez @sabrinakirrane Maria-Esther Vidal for organizing the seminar!
One of my favorite things to do at Schloß Dagstuhl - besides the scientific discussion and brainstorming with my esteemed colleagues - is playing the white grand piano in the music room

It looks like the team working on "Aligning Technology Architectures with Cross-Domain Metadata Models" in Dagstuhl had a lot of fun working together!

The report of the #Dagstuhl Seminar "Research Software Engineering: Bridging Knowledge Gaps" that I co-organized with @danielskatz, Caroline Jay and Lars Grunske is out now:

So glad our #Dagstuhl seminar paper on #MobilityDataScience is finally published and open access
Mobility Data Science: Perspectives and Challenges

Kudos to the leading author team for distilling all the inputs
Our weeklong #Dagstuhl seminar called "Research Software Engineering #RSEng: Bridging Knowledge Gaps" #DagstuhlRSE (https://www.dagstuhl.de/24161) is now wrapping up
We brought together research software engineers (#RSE) and software engineering (#SE) researchers to talk about overlaps and how we can learn from each other and move forward together.
To conclude the seminar, we're talking about how we catalyze a larger community going forward, including future events, publications, videos, etc.
I'm about to head back from another wonderful week at #Dagstuhl discussing shapes in graph data.
A big thank you to Shqiponja Ahmetaj, Slawomir Staworko, and Jan Van den Bussche for the great organization, and all participants for the engaged discussions!
And a small ironic thank you to the strikes in public transport, which kept some of us here for another day - #Dagstuhl on Friday night, a totally new experience.
