The seventh edition of the international AI conference, SophI.A Summit, will take place from 27-29 November at Sophia Antipolis Technology Park on the French Riviera, to reveal the latest advances in the field of artificial intelligence and its applications.
This event brings together global AI experts, in biology, health, mobility and smart applications, covering both core technology and its applications who will present their work through meetings, debates, round tables and posters.
The SophI.A Summit gathers the best AI specialists in the world. During 3 days, we want to offer researchers working at the cutting edge of AI the opportunity to consolidate their technical knowledge and meet recognized experts. Together, we need to articulate a vision on how to create sustainable, economically and socially controllable AI.
We welcome submissions of posters and demos related to all subfields of AI. More details can be found on the dedicated submission website.

PA Mattei Pierre-Alexandre Mattei is a Research Scientist at Inria. He is part of the Maasai (Models and Algorithms for Artificial Intelligence) team and is also affiliated with the J.A. Dieudonné lab and holds a 3IA Côte d'Azur chair. His field of research is statistical machine learning, with a particular emphasis on hidden variables, missing values, and model uncertainty. He is a co-organiser of several annual events related to machine learning: Statlearn, GeMSS, GenU, and the SophI.A Summit.
Elena Cabrio is Full Professor at Université Côte d’Azur and member of the Inria-I3S team Wimmics. She holds a Chair in AI at the Interdisciplinary Institute for Artificial Intelligence 3IA Côte d’Azur on “AI and Natural Language”.
After receiving her PhD from the University of Trento (Italy) in 2011, she worked as a PostDoc at Inria Sophia Antipolis, before she was hired as an assistant professor at Université Côte d’Azur from 2015 to 2022. Her main research interests are Argumentation Mining, Information Extraction and abusive language detection. Goal of her research is to design debating technologies for advanced decision support systems, to support the exchange of information and opinions in different domains (as healthcare and politics), leveraging interdisciplinarity and advances in machine learning for NLP. She currently coordinates the ANTIDOTE (ArgumeNtaTIon-Driven explainable AI fOr digiTal mEdicine) project (CHIST-ERA XAI19). Elena Cabrio, Université Côte d'Azur
François Brémond
François Brémond is a Research Director at Inria Sophia Antipolis-Méditerranée, where he created the STARS team in 2012. He has pioneered the combination of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Computer Vision for Video Understanding since 1993, both at Sophia-Antipolis and at USC (University of Southern California), LA. In 1997, he obtained his PhD degree in video understanding and pursued this work at USC on the interpretation of videos taken from UAV (Unmanned Airborne Vehicle). In 2000, recruited as a researcher at Inria, he modeled human behavior for Scene Understanding: perception, multi-sensor fusion, spatio-temporal reasoning and activity recognition. He is a co-founder of Keeneo, Ekinnox and Neosensys, three companies in intelligent video monitoring and business intelligence. He also co-founded the CoBTek team from Nice University in January 2012 with Prof. P. Robert from Nice Hospital on the study of behavioral disorders for older adults suffering from dementia. He is author or co-author of more than 300 scientific papers published in international journals or conferences in video understanding. He has (co)-supervised 20 PhD theses. François Brémond, Inria
