Luigi Logrippo was my MSc/ PhD supervisor in 1992-2001. We had dinner at my place on Friday, with other colleagues. We also have another paper coming out soon in the AI & Law journal!
I feel very lucky to have been collaborating with him for 33 years! Not sure I will offer this to my students :-)

Four weeks ago, I had the privilege to participate to my first Dagstuhl Seminar, in excellent company (yeah, I finally got one of these pictures!). The 22 of us focused on "AUTOBIZ: Pushing the Boundaries of AI-Driven Process Execution and Adaptation" for a week. More on this topic soon... :-)

At the SnT (Univ. Luxemburg) on May 12, I presented our work on the use of the #Symboleo formal language for converting legal contracts to #SmartContracts, and results in using LLMs (of course!) to generate Symboleo specifications from English contracts. Presentation slides: lnkd.in/euUPUk3x

In 1981, the province of Quebec ruled that women would keep their birth name when getting married. Here is another situation where such law would have been useful elsewhere...
Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?
