Title:
Elements of Scientific Publishing

The importance of research publishing can be defined by a simple quote of Gerard Piel, which says “Without publication, science is dead.” The first scientific journal was published in 1665 and we have travelled 360 years since then. In the last two decades, research and reporting of research have undergone revolutionary changes. Computerization and Internet have changed the traditional ways of reading and writing. Hence, it is very important for researchers in all disciplines to understand the complete process of writing and publishing of research paper in good journals and comprehend the process of academic book publishing. There is also a downside of digital publishing. The principal challenge for publishers is to handle ethical issues and it is of utmost importance for the authors to understand the ethical practices involved in the process. The talk is designed to provide information on different elements of publishing and on how to make use of various author services for the publishing work.

Title:
NeuroAI: Bridging Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence to Uncover the Principles of Learning and Intelligence

Abstract:
The intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) is giving rise to an exciting new field: NeuroAI. This discipline seeks to uncover universal principles of intelligence by exploring the convergence between biological and artificial systems. By integrating neural data, theoretical frameworks, and innovative computational methods, NeuroAI aims to deepen our understanding of natural intelligence and inspire transformative advances in AI. Drawing from foundational concepts in cybernetics, NeuroAI also explores how feedback, adaptation, and control can enhance the development of intelligent and learning systems.

In this lecture, I will highlight key themes, including energy-efficient computing and embodied neural networks through a working example of DishBrain –- a world’s first demonstration of a biological computing platform. By drawing from these advancements, I will outline how NeuroAI could lead to transformative technologies and foster a deeper understanding of intelligence across all domains. Join me to explore this exciting journey at the nexus of biology and computation.

Title:
AI for Biodiversity Conservation

Biodiversity conservation is at a critical juncture, requiring innovative solutions to safeguard fragile ecosystems. Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a transformative approach to overcoming traditional challenges in species identification and ecosystem monitoring. This keynote explores the integration of AI-driven computer vision techniques in biodiversity conservation, focusing on the digitization and automated classification of flora and fauna.

Through projects like ForestEye, InsectEye, and Plantify, AI has been leveraged to classify animal images from camera traps, identify insect species from archived specimens, and categorize plant species from herbarium collections. The application of AI in these areas addresses critical limitations such as the declining pool of taxonomic experts, time-intensive manual identification processes, and accessibility constraints in remote forest ecosystems.

This initiative demonstrates how AI can enhance conservation efforts by streamlining data collection, improving classification accuracy, and creating permanent digital records for future research. The collaboration between researchers, technologists, and conservationists enables AI-driven biodiversity conservation can be scaled for greater environmental impact. The future of biodiversity preservation lies in the synergy between cutting-edge technology and ecological stewardship, ensuring the sustainability of our planet’s natural heritage.
