Highlight:

  • Our center has started a series of small intensive exploratory meetings on interfaces of logic and AI, with colleagues from Tsinghua IIIS and Computer Science.
  • Fenrong Liu was a general program chair at the 18th Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Hanoi 2021, with Johan van Benthem as one of the four keynote speakers, to explore modern interfaces of logic and AI.
