+**Speaker**: Elżbieta Sroka,  assistant professor @ Jagiellonian University
+**Title**: Exploring the use of artificial intelligence in digital cultural heritage research in european research centres.
+**Abstract**:
+This presentation provides an overview of the current stage of research investigating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in digital cultural heritage research within european research centres and cultural heritage institutions, conducted as part of the CHExRISH project. The study explores how AI is being adopted and applied in digital cultural heritage research, focusing on methods, tools, workflows, research infrastructures, and institutional practices. The study is based on fieldwork conducted in selected European countries and includes research visits, expert interviews, and observations. The fieldwork has so far covered research and cultural heritage institutions in eight European countries. The presentation outlines the research design, methodological approach, and data collection methods employed in the study, as well as the scope of the research and the types of institutions involved. It also provides an overview of the institutions visited to date. As the analysis of the empirical material is still ongoing, the presentation does not seek to offer final conclusions. Instead, it presents preliminary observations from the fieldwork, discusses emerging themes, and outlines the next stages of the research, including planned data analysis and future dissemination activities.

+**Speaker**: Sabri Manai,  PhD Candidate @ Jagiellonian University
+**Title**: Transparent and Adaptive AI for Human-Guided Decision Support.
+**Abstract**:
+This talk presents Sabri's research into making AI systems more transparent, trustworthy, and useful for human decision-making. Across three lines of work, he develops explainable recommendations tailored to multiple stakeholders, grounds industrial anomaly detection in domain knowledge through knowledge graphs, and introduces counterfactual-guided hyperparameter optimisation with a conversational interface, showing that interactive explanation measurably outperforms static alternatives.
+Together these works reveal a common thread and a shared limitation: current explainable AI systems are built around one-shot outputs. They tell users why a decision was made, but offer no principled response when users push back. The second part of the talk examines this open problem: how AI systems should handle disagreement, adapt to feedback, and be evaluated not on perceived trust but on whether they genuinely improve human decisions.
+**Biogram**:
+Sabri Manai is a PhD candidate in Technical Computer Science at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, where his research focuses on explainable AI and pattern detection in multimodal data. His work investigates how human feedback and domain knowledge can improve the transparency and reliability of AI systems.
+He holds a Master’s degree in Software Systems Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de València and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the South Mediterranean University in Tunis. Previously, he worked on AI-driven urban analytics within the Valencia Smart City project at Idrica and contributed to mobile development and cloud integration at Peaksource.

+**Speaker**: Soheila Molaei,  Senior researcher @ University of Oxford
+**Title**: From Graphs to Graph Neural Networks: Foundations and Applications in Healthcare
+**Abstract**:
+In this talk, I will introduce the foundations of graph theory and graph neural networks, starting from intuitive examples of real-world graphs such as social networks, molecules, road networks, and biomedical interaction networks. I will explain why graph-structured data challenges standard machine learning assumptions, and how GNNs use message passing and representation learning to model complex relationships. The talk will then cover common GNN tasks, including node classification, link prediction, and graph classification, before introducing key models such as graph convolutional networks and graph attention networks. I will conclude with applications in healthcare, including medical graphs, drug discovery, and patient modelling.

+**Title**: Computational Neuroscience at Sano (Centre for Computational Medicine): Current Research and a Spotlight on “A Tract Density Biomarker for Survival Prediction in Glioblastoma”
+Abstract:
+Computational neuroscience provides powerful tools to better understand brain structure and function, and to translate this knowledge into clinically relevant biomarkers for neurological disease. In this seminar, I will briefly survey ongoing projects in brain modelling, advanced neuroimaging analysis, and machine learning for neurological and psychiatric disorders, with a particular emphasis on how these methods bridge basic science and clinical practice. The second part of the talk will spotlight the development of a tract density–based biomarker aimed at predicting survival in patients with glioblastoma, illustrating the full pipeline from diffusion MRI processing and tractography through feature extraction to predictive modelling and validation. By showcasing both the broader research landscape at Sano and this focused case study, the seminar will highlight how computational approaches can support prognosis, treatment planning, and ultimately more personalized care in neuro-oncology.
