Connectionists: Live free 'AIDA AI Excellence e-Lecture' by Dr. Long Pham (University College Cork): "Leveraging the AI-on-Demand Platform for AI Research: Opportunities for Postgraduates", December 9, 2025 - 17:00 CET.

[Efi P]

Dear AI scientist/engineer/student/enthusiast,



Dr. Long Pham (University College Cork) will deliver the e – lecture:
"*Leveraging
the AI-on-Demand Platform for AI Research: Opportunities for Postgraduates*
":



*Abstract*: This lecture presents a comprehensive examination of the
AI-on-Demand Platform (AIoD) and its capabilities for supporting
postgraduate research in artificial intelligence. Drawing upon insights
from AIoD's recent presence at the 27th European Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (ECAI2025, October 25-30, 2025), this session will explain how
postgraduate students can strategically leverage the platform's resources
to advance their research objectives. The AIoD platform provides registered
users with open access to an extensive repository of AI assets, including
curated datasets, state-of-the-art models, development tools, and
collaborative services. The lecture will explore how these resources can be
integrated throughout the research lifecycle, from data acquisition and
exploratory analysis to model development and validation, thereby
accelerating research timelines and enhancing methodological rigour.
Particular attention will be devoted to AIoD's role as a node for knowledge
exchange and professional networking within the European AI research
community. The session will demonstrate how postgraduate researchers can
utilise AIoD as a collaborative ecosystem that facilitates
interdisciplinary connections and supports research dissemination, with
case studies from ECAI2025 illustrating successful implementations. The
lecture will provide practical guidance on platform registration, resource
navigation, and optimisation strategies for maximising AIoD's utility
within specific research contexts. Postgraduate students will emerge
equipped with actionable knowledge for enhancing their research
capabilities through strategic engagement with the platform, thereby
contributing to the advancement of data-driven AI research and innovation
across European academic contexts.
