Keynote Speakers

Professor Jan Treur

Social AI Group, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

Jan Treur works as a full professor in Artificial Intelligence. He is an internationally well-recognized expert in human-directed AI and cognitive and social modelling. The research of Jan Treur during the past 10 years concerns both fundamental and application-directed aspects of human-directed AI. This covers methods and techniques for modelling and analysis of human-directed AI approaches in a number of application areas, including Cognitive and Social modelling and simulation. He has been and still is active both by author and PC member roles in practically all relevant conferences and journals in these AI and application areas. Currently his research has mostly a multidisciplinary focus and addresses Network-Oriented Modeling approaches based on adaptive temporal-causal networks to model cognitive, affective and social interactions, with two books about this published in 2016 and 2020. Applications cover multi-order adaptive network models for mental and social simulation and human-aware or socially aware AI systems and virtual agents.

Dr. Varuna De Silva

Loughborough University London, United Kingdom

Dr. Varuna De Silva is a Senior Lecturer in Machine Intelligence at Loughborough University. He obtained his Ph.D. in video coding and communications from Center for Vision Speech and Signal Processing at University of Surrey in 2011. He has worked in 3 major European Union Funded Projects during 2010-2013. Between 2013 and 2016, Varuna worked as a senior research engineer in computer vision at Apical Ltd (Now part of ARM UK). He was appointed lecturer at Loughborough University in 2016. He currently supervises 7 Ph.D.s and 2 Post doctoral research fellows in the area of Artificial Intelligence (Multimodal machine learning and multi-agent reinforcement learning) with a strong focus on engineering applications in driverless vehicle technology and team sport analytics.
