Title: How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Access to Greek Legislation
Abstract: Archimedes Research Unit is working to improve access to legal information through artificial intelligence. We introduce GreekBarBench, a unique framework for evaluating LLMs on Greek legal reasoning. Based on our findings, we developed Eureka, an AI-powered chatbot designed to assist with legal queries in Greek. Eureka provides citizens with clear answers to their legal questions, backing them up with direct references to official legislative documents. Together, GreekBarBench and Eureka are a first step toward changing how Greek citizens can access and understand their country's laws.
To position Greece as a leading player in AI and Data Science
To build an AI Excellence Hub in Greece where the international research community can connect, groundbreaking ideas can thrive, and the next generation of scientists emerges, shaping a brighter future for Greece and the world
Welcome to ARCHIMEDES, a vibrant research hub connecting the global AI and Data Science research community fostering groundbreaking research in Greece and beyond. Its dedicated core team, comprising lead researchers, affiliated researchers, Post-Docs, PhDs and interns, is committed to advancing basic and applied research in Artificial Intelligence and its supporting disciplines, including Algorithms, Statistics, Learning Theory, and Game Theory organized around 8 core research areas. By collaborating with Greek and Foreign Universities and Research Institutes, ARCHIMEDES disseminates its research findings fostering knowledge exchange and providing enriching opportunities for students. Leveraging AI to address real-world challenges, ARCHIMEDES promotes innovation within the Greek ecosystem and extends its societal impact. Established in January 2022, as a research unit of the Athena Research Center with support from the Committee Greece 2021, ARCHIMEDES is funded for its first four years by the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
Archimedes, Athena Research Center, Greece is happy to see its work being featured at the 15th International Conference on Information Society and Technology (ICIST 2025), at Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania, through an invited keynote speech by Dr. Serafeim Moustakidis, titled: “Bringing Biomechanics into the AI Era: A New Frontier for Gait and Joint Health.”
On Tuesday 21 October, 2025, from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm, at the Archimedes Amphitheatre (1 Artemidos Street, 15125, Marousi, Archimedes, Athena Research Center, Greece), Professor Manos Athanassoulis, Associate Professor of Computer Science at Boston University (BU), USA, Director and Founder of the BU Data-intensive Systems and Computing Laboratory, BU, USA, and Co-Director of the BU Massive Data Algorithms and Systems Group, BU, USA, will deliver an Archimedes talk on "Harnessing the Untapped Benefits of Near-Sortedness for Data Systems."
The 16th Conference on Game Theory and AI for Security (GameSec25), an event strongly supported by Archimedes, Athena Research Center, Greece will take place at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece from October 13-15 2025. "With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, game theory, and security technologies, the resilience and trustworthiness of modern systems is more critical than ever. The 2025 Conference on Game Theory and AI for Security focuses on leveraging strategic decision-making, adversarial reasoning, and computational intelligence to address security challenges in complex and dynamic environments.
We are happy to announce that 11 papers from Archimedes, Athena Research Center, Greece, have been accepted at the Thirty-Ninth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2025)!NeurIPS is a major annual event in the artificial intelligence and machine learning community and this year it will take place from December 2 to December 7 at the San Diego Convention Center, California, USA.
Vassilis Alimisis, a postdoctoral researcher at Archimedes, Athena Research Center, Greece, will deliver a tutorial on "Low-Power Analog Hardware Classifier Architecture for ML Applications: From A to Z" at the International Conference on Microelectronics (ICM 2025), taking place on 14-17 December, 2025, in Cairo, Egypt.Abstract: This tutorial provides a comprehensive introduction to the design and implementation of low-power analog hardware classifiers tailored for machine learning (ML) applications, with a focus on energy-constrained environments such as edge devices and biomedical wearables. With the growing need for fast, efficient, and real-time data processing, analog computing has re-emerged as a promising solution that enables in-memory computation and significantly reduces power consumption compared to conventional digital processors.
The project “ARCHIMEDES Unit: Research in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Algorithms” with code OPS 5154714 is implemented by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0” and is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
