A wide variety of theory and techniques from statistics, data mining, and machine learning is available. Addressing a concrete question or problem in a particular application domain requires multiple non-trivial steps: translating the question to a data analysis problem, selecting a suitable approach to solve this problem, correctly applying that approach, and correctly interpreting the results. In this process, specialist knowledge on data analysis needs to be combined with domain expertise. As data analysis becomes ever more advanced, this becomes increasingly difficult. In an ideal world, data analysis would be declarative and domain-oriented: the user should be able to state the question, rather than describing a solution procedure, and the software should decide how to provide an answer. The user then no longer needs to be, or hire, a specialist in data analysis for every step of the knowledge discovery process. This would make data analysis easier, more efficient, and less error-prone. In this talk, I will discuss contemporary research that is bringing the state of the art in data analysis closer to that long-term goal.

Majestic
The charming Majestic Café, founded in December 1921, is a meeting place of excellence and one of the city’s must-see. Located in the heart of Porto downtown, in the commercial pedestrian street of Santa Catarina, this emblematic café was the favorite spot of writers, artists, politicians and other prominent personalities from Porto. More than a social café, Majestic was a cultural place where intellectuals discussed their ideas and shared their knowledge, and where exhibitions, concerts and tertulias took place.

Places to visit in Porto
D. Luís I Bridge
Planned by the engineer Teófilo Seyrig, a disciple of Eiffel, it was inaugurated in 1886 and it is composed by two overlapping iron decks. The bridge has 395 metres long and 8 metres wide, and its arch is still considered to be the world’s biggest one in forged iron. Nowadays the upper deck is used by the Metro of Porto, connecting the area of Porto’s Cathedral to the Garden of Morro and to the Avenida da República in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Talk: AI Research at Huawei Technologies
Abstract:To enable computers to listen, speak, see, and learn like humans, and even more to build computers that analyze, infer, predict, and make decisions better than humans is the ultimate dream of artificial intelligence. In the near future, we envision that with advanced AI technologies each person and each enterprise will have multiple intelligent computer assistants to help accomplish various tasks with results that are as good or even better than if they were performed by humans. Huawei Technologies, one of the major telecommunication equipment and service companies in the world, is also conducting research toward this noble goal of AI. In this talk, I will introduce some progresses which Huawei, and particularly its Noah’ Ark Lab, have made recently, including a platform for deep learning research, natural language processing using deep learning, construction and utilization of large-scale knowledge base in telecommunication domain.
Bio: Hang Li is director of the Noah’s Ark Lab of Huawei Technologies. His research areas include natural language processing, information retrieval, statistical machine learning, and data mining. He graduated from Kyoto University in 1988 and earned his PhD from the University of Tokyo in 1998. He worked at the NEC lab in Japan during 1991 and 2001, and Microsoft Research Asia during 2001 and 2012.

CHALLENGE OF THE DAY
Lello Bookshop
The building where the library is now located was inaugurated in 1906. Special mention goes to its beautiful Art Nouveau façade with neo-Gothic details. On the inside, the library is decorated in painted plaster imitating wood and presents a magnificent staircase linking it to the upper floor - one of the first reinforced concrete works in Porto. Also worthy of attention is the huge stained-glass skylight, bearing the library’s monogram and motto: ‘Decus in Labore’. In 2008, the English newspaper The Guardian considered this library the world’s third most beautiful, as did the Lonely Planet in its guide “Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2011”, describing it as an ‘Art Nouveau gem’, and particularly mentioning its ‘neo-Gothic shelves’ and the ‘lolloping red staircase’.
