The workshop, held at the Santiago Metropolitan Hub, provided practical tools for analyzing and organizing an organization’s data before incorporating artificial intelligence into its processes. The workshop will be held again in Viña del Mar, Concepción, and Santiago. More than 30 professionals participated in the first session of “Know Your Data: An Essential Step…”
The meeting was chaired by Aidan Hogan, a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science (DCC) at the University of Chile and deputy director of the IMFD, and brought together researchers from both institutions to explore new avenues for collaboration, student exchanges, and joint doctoral supervision. From July 27 to 31, the Department of Computer Science…
The Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Chile, through its Data and Artificial Intelligence Initiative (IDIA), has launched free and open-source software that allows users to train artificial intelligence models without needing to know how to program. The tool operates 100% locally on the user’s computer, with no dependencies…
This paper presents the technological architecture behind maqui.ai, the legal platform developed by the Innovation and Technology Transfer team at the Institute for Financial and Economic Research ( Millennium Institute ,Foundational Research on Data , or IMFD). The team will present the paper during the conference, which will be held in Italy, and it will rank among the most significant applications of 2026 in technologies based on…
Companies, universities, public services, and social organizations generate large amounts of data every day. However, many are unsure whether their data is of sufficient quality and well-organized enough to take advantage of artificial intelligence tools. A free workshop hosted by the Millennium Institute Foundational Research on Data (IMFD), to be held in Santiago, Viña del Mar, and Concepción, will aim to…
Scholars Sebastián Ferrada and John Atkinson analyzed the impact of artificial intelligence on work and education, emphasizing that critical thinking, professional judgment, and interpersonal skills will remain essential in the age of automation. In a recent episode of *A Bordo de La Tercera*, the scholar from the Initiative…
The study, published in EPJ Data Science, evaluated the “silicon sampling” technique, which replaces real respondents with responses simulated using artificial intelligence. In Chile, the models showed lower accuracy among women, older adults, People , those with lower levels of education, and lower-income groups. Large language models (LLMs), such as those…
Juan , director of Millennium Institute Foundational Research on Data IMFD) and a professor at the Catholic University (UC), spoke with Cooperativa Ciencia about the research behind the award presented this month in London and also discussed how artificial intelligence is changing the landscape for students. On July 9…
A new paper by researchers at Millennium Institute Foundational Research on Data IMFD) was accepted for publication in the 52nd edition of VLDB (Very Large Data Bases), one of the world’s leading international conferences on database research. The paper, titled “Worst-Case Optimal BGPs on Temporal Graphs,” was authored by…
Researchers Diego Arroyuelo (DCC UC) and Gonzalo Navarro (DCC UChile), along with UTFSM Ph.D. student José M. Cazorla, received the Best Paper Award at GRADES-NDA 2026—a workshop associated with SIGMOD/PODS—for a technique that significantly speeds up Qdags, a graph data structure published by researchers…
Juan , Domagoj Vrgoč, and Pablo Barceló are among the seven winners of the 2026 Alonzo Church Prize, one of the world’s most prestigious awards in logic and computer science, for research that laid the groundwork for new international standards in data querying. Three researchers from Millennium Institute Foundational Research on Data IMFD)…
Juan and Aidan Hogan, directors of Millennium Institute Foundational Research on Data, were recognized by members of the review committee of two of the leading international database research forums. Each year, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) organizes the SIGMOD and PODS conferences to highlight the best research in database management,…
