Popularization

For a multi-disciplinary team as Mnemosyne, science popularization is not only a nice and useful contribution to the dissemination of scientific knowledge but also a necessity since we work with colleagues from bio-sciences with whom sharing profound ideas in computer science is mandatory for a real collaboration.

• Thierry Viéville is for 80% of his time involved in popularization actions [35] , both at a concrete level (including on Mnemosyne subjects [23] ) and at the methodological level [34] , [19] . This explains the amount of references to these external subjects in this document.

• Nicolas Rougier: Question/answers about Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the general public (NODE, Bordeaux); popularized article about AI on Interstices; invited talk for the “Pint of Science” festival; interview about AI in the #Thinovery magazine; two articles in “The Conversation (FR)” about neurosciences and AI; “Unithé ou Café” at Inria BSO; Blog posts in “Binaires” (36 15 EULA) and “Scilogs” (“L'intelligence artificielle n'aura pas lieu.”)

• Frédéric Alexandre: Blog post in Scilogs: “Rien de neuf sous le soleil de l'IA” (www.scilogs.fr/intelligence-mecanique/rien-de-neuf-sous-le-soleil-de-lia/ ); Conference at the Bordeaux museum of science (Cap Sciences, March 5th) “Modeling the brain to better understand neurodegenerative diseases”; Article in the french scientific magazine Pour la Science: “Where are the real dangers of Artificial Intelligence” (http://www.pourlascience.fr/ewb_pages/a/article-ou-sont-les-vrais-dangers-de-l-apos-intelligence-artificielle-35148.php ); Conference at the Multimedia Library of Tulle “Modeling emotions to better understand neurodegenerative diseases” (March 28th); Participation to the french radio broadcast 3D on the national channel France Inter (http://www.franceinter.fr/emission-3d-le-journal-robots-cops , May 31st); Interview in the french scientific magazine Science et Vie Junior (“Must we fear super intelligences”, issue of August); Interview in Inriality “Who is afraid about Artificial Intelligence” (http://www.inriality.fr/communication/intelligence-artificielle/qui-peur-de/ ); Responsible for the Masterclass “Think different” to the Biznext conference (december17th, Bordeaux, cf interview http://objectifaquitaine.latribune.fr/innovation/2015-11-20/les-robots-intelligents-nous-poussent-ils-a-penser-le-monde-autrement.html and announcement on TV http://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/aquitaine/emissions/jt-1213-aquitaine );

• PhD students participated to the regional exhibition Aquitec (C. Héricé and Maxime Carrere), to “Fête de la Science” (I. Chraibi Kaadoud and C. Héricé), to “Printemps des filles” (I. Chraibi Kaadoud and C. Héricé) and to the organizing committee of Pint of Science Bordeaux (C. Héricé).
