Title: Emerging Topics in Fuzzy AI
Abstract: Fuzzy sets and systems are a
mature technology, now in existence for almost 60 years, and one of the
three main pillars of Computational Intelligence. Whilst fuzzy sets and
systems have made significant impact in CI over the years, recently there
has been a relative decline in interest, with (particularly) Deep Learning
and Large Language Models receiving huge attention worldwide and largely
dominating AI research. In this talk, I will argue that fuzzy-based research
still has an important role to play in the future of AI. As such, I will
identify and discuss some emerging topics in fuzzy systems which I suggest
are interesting and potentially valuable areas of future research focus.
Bio: Prof. Jon Garibaldi is currently the
Provost of the University of Nottingham Ningbo China, and a member of the
University of Nottingham Executive Board (UEB). His main research interest
is in modelling human reasoning in uncertain environments, with a particular
emphasis on the medical domain. He has published over 300 papers, and has
participated in multi-disciplinary research projects worth over £80M [750M
RMB]. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, was the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE
Transactions on Fuzzy Systems from Jan 2017 to Dec 2022, and is currently a
member of the IEEE CIS Administrative Committee.
Prof. Grigoris Antoniou
Leeds Beckett University, UK
Title: AI for mental health
diagnostics
Abstract: In this talk we cover work on using AI as a clinical
decision support tool for mental health conditions, with a focus on adult
ADHD and suicide risk assessment. These works are done collaboratively with
the one of UK's NHS Trusts and have resulted in developing new technological
solutions. In addition, we also review the development and potential use of
domain-specific ontologies and discuss potential uses of Large Language
Models.
Bio: Grigoris Antoniou is Professor of AI at Leeds Beckett University
and Visiting Professor at the L3S Research Centre in Germany. His research
interests lie in semantic technologies, particularly knowledge
representation and reasoning and
semantics for big data, and its application to health, law and smart cities.
He has published over 200 technical papers in scientific journals and
conferences. His research has attracted over 15,000 citations. He is member
of editorial boards of journals including Artificial Intelligence Journal.
He is Fellow of IEEE, Fellow of the European Association for Artificial
Intelligence and Fellow of the Asia-Pacific AI Association.
