Installation de la « Chaîne de Lumière » à Bikfaya, au Liban, par Pierre et Cédric Koukjian, designers basés à Genève, en Suisse

BIKFAYA, Liban, 20 janv. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  Une nouvelle sculpture monumentale baptisée « Chaîne de Lumière » a été installée dans la ville pittoresque de Bikfaya, au Liban. Les designers Pierre et Cédric Koukjian, représentés par SINCE, en sont les créateurs.

Composée de sept maillons, cette sculpture s’inspire de la Divine Comédie de Dante Alighieri. Chaque maillon représente l’une des sept étapes de la croissance et symbolise ainsi le voyage de l’âme humaine vers l’illumination.

Parce qu’elle incarne l’unité, la résilience et le lien, cette chaîne reflète le pouvoir unificateur qui relie tout ce qui existe. Chaînes de Lumière invite le spectateur à réfléchir au parcours transformateur de la découverte de soi et à la force durable qui s’exprime dans l’harmonie collective.

Le projet a été rendu possible grâce au soutien inestimable de Sheikha Nicole Gemayel et de la communauté artistique de Genève, dont l’engagement collectif en faveur de la créativité a joué un rôle clef dans la concrétisation de ce projet visionnaire. Les aspects logistiques du projet ont été gérés de manière experte par Blackblues afin de garantir l’installation réussie de cette œuvre monumentale au sein de son nouvel écrin.

À propos de Pierre et Cédric Koukjian
Pierre et Cédric Koukjian sont réputés pour leurs œuvres de style postmoderne qui font souvent appel à des matériaux tels que le métal, le marbre et la résine cristalline. Leurs créations explorent les thèmes du lien, de l’identité et de la résilience.

جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي تستضيف مؤتمراً عالمياً رائداً في أبوظبي في مجال معالجة اللغة الطبيعية

  •  تستضيف جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي مؤتمر اللغويات الحاسوبية الدولي بنسخته الحادية والثلاثين الذي سيُقام في أبوظبي من 19 إلى 24 يناير 2025.
  •  يُقام المؤتمر للمرة الأولى في منطقة الشرق الأوسط، وسيتضمّن مجموعة من الكلمات الرئيسية والجلسات التعليمية وأكثر من 850 ورقة بحثية، كما سيشهد إطلاق أول مدرسة شتوية لمعالجة اللغة العربية.

أبو ظبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة, Jan. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —   تنطلق غداً، في 19 يناير 2025، فعاليات مؤتمر اللغويات الحاسوبية الدولي بنسخته الحادية والثلاثين في أبوظبي، حيث تفتح جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي، وهي الجهة المنظِّمة المحلية للمؤتمر، أبوابها لاستضافة أكثر من 1,500 مشارك من حول العالم.

يُذكَر أنّ هذا المؤتمر يُنَظَّم برعاية اللجنة الدولية للّغويات الحاسوبية في مركز أبوظبي الوطني للمعارض (أدنيك)، وسيمتدّ من 19 إلى 24 يناير 2025، وذلك بالتزامن مع المدرسة الشتوية لحوسبة اللغة العربية التي ستتعاون في تنظيمها جامعة نيويورك أبوظبي وجامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي في 18 و19 يناير.

هذا وسيحظى المؤتمر، الذي ينعقد لأول مرّة في منطقة الشرق الأوسط، بدعم مكتب أبوظبي للمؤتمرات والمعارض في دائرة الثقافة والسياحة–أبوظبي. كما سيتضمن 22 ورشة عمل وتسع جلسات تعليمية، وكلمات رئيسية، بالإضافة إلى المدرسة الشتوية المصممة لصقل معرفة المشاركين ومهاراتهم في مجاليّ البحث والتطوير في معالجة اللغة العربية.

وتعليقاً على استضافة جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي للمؤتمر، قال البروفيسور بريسلاف ناكوف، رئيس قسم معالجة اللغة الطبيعية في الجامعة والأستاذ المحاضر فيها ورئيس اللجنة المحلية للمؤتمر: “يجمع هذا المؤتمر بين ألمع العقول في مجالي الذكاء الاصطناعي ومعالجة اللغة الطبيعية، ليشرّع آفاقاً جديدة أمام تعزيز الحوار ودفع عجلة الابتكار. وبينما تُعيد الحوسبة اللغوية تحديد طريقة تفاعل الإنسان مع الآلات، نتطلع إلى استكشاف كيفية الاستفادة من هذه التطورات للوصول إلى حلول لأبرز التحديات الإقليمية والعالمية“.

الجدير بالذكر أنّ هذا المؤتمر، الذي تأسس عام 1965، يُعقد كل عامين ويستقطب مشاركين من مراكز الأبحاث والمؤسسات الأكاديمية وأقسام البحوث الصناعية والشركات الناشئة في مجال التكنولوجيا من حول العالم. وفي دورة هذا العام، تم قبول 853 ورقة بحثية كجزء من المؤتمر الرئيسي، من بينها 22 ورقة أعدّها طلاب وأعضاء الهيئة التدريسية في جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي.

ويُعدّ مؤتمر اللغويات الحاسوبية الدولي لعام 2025 ثاني مؤتمر رفيع المستوى يتمحور حول معالجة اللغة الطبيعية والذكاء الاصطناعي يُعقد في أبوظبي، بعد انعقاد مؤتمر الأساليب التجريبية في معالجة اللغات الطبيعية في العام 2022، والذي استضافته جامعة نيويورك أبوظبي بالشراكة مع جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي.

كما استضافت الإمارة دورة العام 2024 من المؤتمر الدولي لاستخراج البيانات الذي نظمته جامعة خليفة للعلوم والتكنولوجيا، والمؤتمر الدولي للروبوتات والأنظمة الذكية الذي نظمته جامعة خليفة للعلوم والتكنولوجيا وجمعية مهندسي الكهرباء والإلكترونيات.

وأضاف البروفيسور بريسلاف ناكوف قائلاً: “تجمع أبوظبي ما بين الجانبين التقليدي والحديث، وهي تعكس قيم التواصل والتعلم والاستكشاف التي يتردد صداها بعمق في مجتمعنا العلمي. ونحن فخورون بتسليط الضوء على تفاني منطقتنا والتزامها بالابتكار التكنولوجي واللغوي“.

في النهاية، لا بد من الإشارة إلى أن دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة احتلت المرتبة الخامس في التصنيف العالمي لإمكانات الذكاء الاصطناعي لعام 2024، في حين رسّخت جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي مكانتها كواحدة من أفضل 10 جامعات في العالم في تخصّصات الذكاء الاصطناعي، والرؤية الحاسوبية، وتعلم الآلة، ومعالجة اللغة الطبيعية، وعلم الروبوتات، وعلم الأحياء الحاسوبي، وكواحدة من أفضل 85 جامعة في علوم الحاسوب، وفق تصنيف الجامعات في مجالات علوم الحاسوب (CSRankings).

Renommierte wissenschaftliche Veranstaltung: Hong Kong Laureate Forum 2025

HONGKONG, Jan. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Der Bewerbungszeitraum für das Hong Kong Laureate Forum 2025 (das Forum) ist jetzt eröffnet und endet am 31. März 2025. Wir freuen uns über Bewerbungen von Doktoranden, Postgraduierten (PhD/Master) und Studenten bis 35 Jahre, die Astronomie, Lebenswissenschaften und Medizin, mathematische Wissenschaften oder andere eng verwandte Disziplinen studieren oder in diesen Bereichen forschen. Berechtigte Kandidaten werden gebeten, ihre Bewerbungen über https://application.hklaureateforum.org/registration/ einzureichen.

Das erste Forum bot Wissenschaftlern aus aller Welt eine erstklassige Plattform, um sich generationenübergreifend, interkulturell und interdisziplinär auszutauschen und neue Ideen zu entwickeln.

Das erste Forum, das 2023 stattfand und ein voller Erfolg war, wurde für seine regen Diskussionen und den intellektuellen Austausch zwischen den Teilnehmern, Shaw–Preisträgern und anderen angesehenen Wissenschaftlern aus der ganzen Welt hoch gelobt. Aufbauend auf diesem Erfolg freut sich der Vorstand des Hong Kong Laureate Forum (das HKLF), die zweite Ausgabe des Forums anzukündigen, die vom 5. – 8. November 2025 in Hongkong stattfinden wird. Ziel des Forums ist es, neue Ideen anzuregen und nachhaltige Verbindungen über Disziplinen, Generationen und Kulturen hinweg zu fördern. Zusätzlich zu den Plenarvorträgen, Podiumsdiskussionen und parallelen Gruppensitzungen wird das Forum informelle Treffen bieten, die reichlich Gelegenheit für Vernetzung und Dialog bieten.

Professor Timothy W. Tong, SBS, BBS, JP, Vorsitzender des HKLF, erklärt: „Unser Ziel ist es, ein dynamisches Umfeld zu schaffen, in dem Nachwuchswissenschaftler mit führenden Wissenschaftlern aus der ganzen Welt in verschiedenen Disziplinen zusammenarbeiten können. Hongkongs einzigartige Position als internationales Zentrum für wissenschaftliche Forschung, kombiniert mit einer starken wissenschaftlichen Infrastruktur und der Unterstützung durch die Regierung, macht uns zum idealen Standort für ein solches globales wissenschaftliches Treffen unter den Teilnehmern.“

Professor E. Peter Greenberg, Shaw–Preisträger für Lebenswissenschaften und Medizin 2015, zeigt sich begeistert: „Ich halte es für eine wunderbare Sache, etablierte Wissenschaftler mit jungen Menschen zusammenzubringen, die sich erst am Beginn ihrer Karriere befinden. Daher war es mir ein wesentliches Anliegen, daran teilzunehmen.“

Professor Simon D. M. White, Shaw–Preisträger für Astronomie 2017, sagte: „Ich freue mich darauf, junge Menschen zu treffen und mich mit ihnen zu unterhalten. Darin nämlich besteht das wichtigste Ziel dieses Forums, und ich freue mich darauf.“

Die 200 herausragendsten Nachwuchswissenschaftler werden von einem wissenschaftlichen Prüfungsausschuss, bestehend aus lokalen und internationalen Akademikern, für die Teilnahme am Forum ausgewählt. Interessierte Kandidaten können sich bis zum 31. März 2025 bewerben. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter https://hklaureateforum.org/en/the–forum/forum–overview.
