ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Tadahiro Taniguchi
Professor · Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University
My research explores how language and shared meanings emerge through embodied experience and social interaction. Collective predictive coding connects this question with world modeling, decentralized Bayesian inference and human–AI co-creation.

FROM MADRID, WITH THANKS
