CONFERENCE
Designed primarily for students and early-career researchers, SFLA 2025 offered an immersive learning experience through a rich schedule mixing lectures, discussions, and interactive student talks (https://sfla2025.eu/programme.html). The environment fostered collaboration and lively exchanges among participants and expert lecturers.
The week’s lectures spanned foundational concepts to advanced topics, delivered by leading experts in the field:
Juan José Miñana opened the school with “Introduction to Fuzzy Set Theory”, followed later by “Fuzzy Metrics I & II” across Thursday and Friday sessions.
Bernard De Baets presented a three-part series on relational calculus:
“Fuzzy Relations”
“Reciprocal Relations”
“Ternary Relations”.
Dmitry Gromov introduced participants to “Clustering and Classification in Data Science”.
Irina Perfiljeva offered two sessions:
“Neural Networks Enhanced by Fuzzy Modeling”
“Data-Driven Numerical Methods: Fuzzy Transforms Meet Physics-Informed Neural Networks”.
Gabriella Casalino discussed “Explainable Artificial Intelligence (with a focus on fuzzy logic)” and “Explaining Evolving Systems”.
Igor Rodin wrapped up with a two-part lecture on “From Algorithms to Impact: The Applied Landscape of AI”.
Beyond lectures, the summer school emphasized peer engagement—students from diverse backgrounds delivered short talks each afternoon. The week peaked with a round table and gala dinner on Wednesday, July 30, blending academic dialogue and social connection.
SFLA 2025 provided a comprehensive, well-rounded learning journey—balancing theoretical rigor, applied insights, and a vibrant community spirit. For the 18 participants—especially those from the University of Latvia—it was a rich opportunity to explore fuzzy logic frontiers and forge international academic bonds.
, meticulously organized by EUSFLAT in conjunction with the University of Latvia. The school welcomed 18 enthusiastic students—from the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and predominantly the University of Latvia—who delved into the latest developments in fuzzy logic, soft computing, and their real-world applications.){kind=link}
