🚀 Excited to share the first decision models for Lithuanian medical texts!
By our @AIML_VU we’ve released three open models for calibrated typed decisions on Lithuanian MEDLINE abstracts:
• Qwen3.5-4B-LT-med
• medgemma-1.5-4b-it-decitions-lt-med
• laya-multilingual-lt-med

Trained/adapted on MEDLINE-S1-LT for study design, disease area, humans/animals, adverse effects, drug therapy, age groups etc.

Strong accuracy + calibration on the held-out Lithuanian test set. Research models - not medical devices or clinical advice.

What a summer 🙌 I'm really proud of hosting Declarative AI 2026 in Vilnius.

From 24 to 30 August we hosted RuleML+RR conference and the Reasoning Web Summer School.

Three days of papers, keynotes, industry talks, the Rule Challenge and Doctoral Consortium, followed by a full four day summer school on argumentation, ontologies, knowledge compilation, neurosymbolic RL, planning, causality, and provenance. That only works when many people carry the load.

Thank you to general chairs Víctor Gutiérrez-Basulto and Mantas Šimkus for trusting Vilnius with the event.

Many thanks ro RuleML+RR program chairs Davide Lanti and Adrian Paschke - thank you for a dense, well-run scientific programme.

To Reasoning Web chairs Pablo Barceló and Maria Vanina Martinez, Rule Challenge chairs Szymon Bobek and Zeynep G. Saribatur, Doctoral Consortium chairs Virginijus Marcinkevičius and Sanja L., Industry Track chair Povilas Daniušis, and Networking Session chairs Shqiponja Ahmetaj and Kai Sauerwald. To publicity chair Federica Di Stefano and webpage chair Ahmet Soylu.

Special thanks to our keynote speakers Matti Järvisalo, @Thomas_Bolander and @sdumbrav, to Liana Mikaelyan for the industry talk, to Laura Kovács for the proposal session, and to all authors, presenters, session chairs and summer-school lecturers who filled the week.

Reasoning Web speakers: Antonio Rago & @Ti_Kam, Jonas Haldimann & Richard Booth, Andreas Pieris, Florent Capelli, Celeste Veronese, Hector Geffner, Emiliano Lorini, Nina Pardal

Vilnius showed itself well: Old Town walks, Misionierių Kiemas, the TV Tower dinner, Artistai, and Trakai. Thank you to everyone who came, stayed for the school, and treated the city as part of the programme.

And last but not least Artificial Intelligence Association of Lithuania, the main sponsors 3RTechnology and NVIDIA, partners Go Vilnius, VU Matematikos ir informatikos fakultetas / VU Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics, Artificial Intelligence Methods Lab (AIML).

Hosting Declarative AI here was a pleasure, and more announcments comming soon!

As a president of @lithuania_ai it was a pleasure that association hosted @probabilisticai summer school in Vilnius, Lithuania 🚀 🚀 🚀 It was a long path which took over a year, which lead to this great event not only for Probabilistic AI School (#ProbAI) participants, but also for Lithuanian ecosystem!

I would like to express gratitude for everyone involved into this large effort, but mainly general co-chairs @tarikssalem, David Baumgartner, Povilas Daniušis, and Mantas Lukoševičius 👏 .

The school was full five day event with presentations, and many activities, which would not be possible without involvement of the speakers: Jonas Arruda, @RutaBinky, @gkdziugaite, Helge Langseth, @saramagliacane, Zita Marinho, @DimitriMeunier1, Thomas Dyhre Nielsen, Silja Renooij, @sereliezer, @vernadec and TA's @t_kusmierczyk, Yanzhe Bekkemoen.
