Seminar: Spanish Text Simplification in Simplext: Making Texts more Accessible. Thursday, April 12th, 11am.
Horacio Saggion, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain.
For people with cognitive disabilities access to textual information is often very difficult because texts written for the general public may be too difficult for them to read: just adapting the format of the text is not a solution. Adapting and simplify texts manually would be impractical with human efforts alone. This talk describes work in progress for the Simplext project which aims at developing text simplification technology in Spanish and for people with cognitive disabilities.

Seminar: Pedestrian tracking with mobile robots: a multiple hypothesis approach, 11am April 10th.
Nicolas Tsokas, National Technical University of Athens, Greece. The talk deals with the problem of tracking walking people using moving robots. For this purpose we propose an algorithm that runs on a single robot, as well as an extension that runs on a team of robots and a central station. In the context of three experiments involving people walking among moving robots, the successful integration of our tracking algorithm to a real-world setup is assessed.
