Last September I was invited to participate in SEMATICA 2011 in Santiago de Compostela organized by researchers from the Centro de Investigación en Tecnoloxías da Información de la USC (CITIUS). It was organized as a Doctoral Seminar with scientific talks and contributions from the industry. I thought it was a very nice idea to give PhD students views on the topic they are working on from the academia and the industry so that they could have a more complete picture on their research topics. I had lots of fun sharing my experiences in applying AI ideas within startup companies. In addition to that, I discovered Santiago de Compostela and was astonished by that city. The old part is very beautiful and the people really nice. Thanks for the invitation!
