These events are free to anyone who wishes to attend and have attracted high-quality speakers. We are happy to have this verification talk from a wonderful speaker just one day after World Logic Day. Speaker: Annabelle McIver (Macquarie University) Probabilistic Datatypes: automating verification for abstract probabilistic reasoning Abstract: Datatypes - in which data is encapsulated together with methods that access it - play an important role in the organisation of large software projects. Correctness of datatypes has traditionally been carried out using simulation relations to simplify the verification by separating concerns: the datatype can be verified independently from the programs that use it, whilst those programs themselves can be verified using the specifications of the datatype's methods. Use of these principles enables complex programs to be brought within reach of automated proof. When probabilistic choice is included, however, it turns out that obtaining similar simplifications of the verification problem will require distinguishing between "hidden" and "observable" probabilistic behaviour - if demonic choice is allowed in the surrounding program. And that is not required in the non-probabilistic setting: the crucial issue is the potential interaction of probabilistic- and demonic choice. In the main part of this talk I will use examples to explain why the interaction is problematic, and I will suggest how extension of existing pGCL-based automated reasoning-tools, will by taking that interaction into account, enable automated probabilistic abstract reasoning about "hard to crack" probabilistic programs.

All directions for participating are available at https://aixia.it/en/gruppi/hc/. *== October 2024 seminar ==* *2024 January 22 - 3:30PM CET* *Mor Peleg, PhD, *Professor of Information Systems, University of Haifa (HAifa, Israel), EIC of Journal of Biomedical Informatics *Title:* Current topics in AI in medicine and health informatics: current challenges and a look ahead *Abstract:* In this talk I will review current challenges, current work by the biomedical informatics community, and future topics related to AI. I draw the information from a paper[1] that a group of informatics editors and other respected members of the community co-authored and published in 2023 in the Journal of Healthcare Informatics Research. There, we identified focus areas that should be addressed in the next ten years, specifically learning from new challenges that emerged in the Covid-19 epidemic. I will also present my analysis of current and emerging topics of papers published in the Journal of Biomedical Informatics (JBI) in the past two years, and current calls for special issue papers. I will also touch upon the role of international collaboration in emerging research areas (in JBI).
