BLISS x dida: Theory Meets Practice #2: Giving Eyes to your AI: Engineering Multimodal Agents with Haystack

Large Language Models are no longer limited to text - modern AI systems can see, reason across modalities, and act on rich, multimodal inputs. With these new capabilities comes increased complexity: how do we design multimodal agents that reliably understand visual information, integrate it with language, and remain controllable in real-world applications? We explore how to give your AI eyes by engineering powerful multimodal agents using Haystack

BLISS x dida: Theory Meets Practice #1: Opening the Black Box: A Hands-On Guide to Explainable AI for LLMs

While Large Language Models have demonstrated unprecedented capabilities in reasoning and retrieval, their internal decision-making processes remain largely opaque. As they grow in complexity, treating these models as 'black boxes' is no longer sufficient for building reliable, safe, and transparent systems.

BLISS x InstaDeep: Foundational Models for Genomics: Decoding Genomic Sequences

Genomics foundation models have emerged as powerful tools to decode the human genome and understand how genetic variants affect disease and traits. In this hands-on workshop, we will provide an overview of how these models learn the regulatory code of the genome, discuss specific models and applications, and get hands-on experience implementing them.
