A club that explores the challenges of interactions between humans and machines.
T: Theory of Mind and Trust (confidence)
A: Acceptability
L: speaker’s Lead/commitment
OS: Oriented toward the Health domain
Talos, in Greek mythology, is an automaton created by Hephaestus to protect King Minos of Crete. It is a symbol embodying technological innovation and the symbiosis between humans and machines.
Talos is looking for curious minds to explore the challenges of interactions between humans and machines in the health domain! The club is grounded in 3 disciplines: Language Sciences, Psychology, and Natural Language Processing.
Examples of questions that may be raised in the club:
Do we interact in the same way with a human as with a machine?
Do humans accept the integration of machines into their daily lives?
On which elements do humans rely to build trust in an interaction?
How do speakers commit themselves when they speak? What are the cues?
How can machines be used in the health domain?

TALOS will be an opportunity to get closer to research in the field of human–machine interaction.
Various activities will be organized throughout the year. An example of an annual activity plan is shown on the right.
Activities will be free to evolve according to everyone’s interests and skills.

- Frequency: Every 3 months
- Objectives: Introduction to science mediation and popularization around a defined concept, reducing the gap with civil society.
- Young Researchers Study Day
- Frequency: Every year
- Objectives: Discovering the organization and design of a study day; participation.
- Visits to affiliated laboratories
