Gabriella Pasi
Gabriella Pasi is Full Professor at the University of Milano Bicocca, Italy, where she leads the Information Retrieval research Lab within the Department of Informatics, Systems and Communication. Her research activity mainly addresses the definition of models and techniques for a personalized access to information (in particular related to the tasks of information Retrieval and Filtering). She is also working on the analysis of user generated content in social media.
Silvio Peroni
I hold a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies, University of Bologna, where I teach 'Basic Informatics' and 'Computational Thinking and Programming'.
I am an expert in document markup and semantic descriptions of bibliographic entities using OWL ontologies. I am one of the main developers of the SPAR (Semantic Publishing and Referencing) Ontologies, Co-Director of OpenCitations, and founding member of the Initiative for Open Citations (I4OC).
I am an Editorial Board member of Data Science, PeerJ Computer Science, and I am member of the Digital Humanities Advanced Research Centre (/DH.arc), part of the Advisory Board of DBLP and Qeios, Ambassador of Figshare and PeerJ, and member of the Association for Computing Machinery, of the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics, and of the Associazione per l’Informatica Umanistica e la Cultura Digitale.
Among my research interests are Semantic Web technologies, markup languages for complex documents, design patterns for digital documents and ontology modelling, and automatic processes of analysis and segmentation of documents. In particular, my recent works concern the empirical analysis of the nature of scholarly citations, bibliometrics and scientometrics studies, visualisation and browsing interfaces for semantic data, and the development of ontologies to manage, integrate and query bibliographic information.
Kaize Shi
Kaize Shi is with the Data Science and Machine Intelligence Lab, University of Technology Sydney. He has PhD degrees in computer science and computer systems, which are from the Beijing Institute of Technology, China, and the University of Technology Sydney, Australia. His research interests include natural language generation, social computing, cyber-physical-social systems, meteorological knowledge services, intelligent transportation, and artificial intelligence technology. He is the associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems and academic editor of PeerJ Computer Science and Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing. He also served as a guest editor for the Information Fusion, International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, etc. He served as a program committee member for conferences of ACL, EMNLP, NeurIPS, SIGKDD, ICDM, etc. He is a member of the Artificial Intelligence Technical Committee of the China Meteorological Service Association.
Tamara Sumner
I lead an interdisciplinary research and development lab that studies how computational tools - combining cognitive science, machine intelligence, and interactive media - can improve teaching practice, learning outcomes and learner engagement. Inquiry Hub, formerly known as Digital Learning Sciences, is a mission-centered, research-practice partnership involving faculty and students from the University of Colorado Boulder, scientific and technical staff from the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), and educators and administrators from Denver Public Schools. Our research and development team combines expertise in cognitive science, learning sciences, science education, user-centered design and evaluation, digital content management, software engineering, educational data mining, and machine learning/natural language processing.
I am also a Professor at the University of Colorado, with a joint appointment between the Institute of Cognitive Science and the Department of Computer Science. I am currently serving as the Director of the Institute of Cognitive Science. My research and teaching interests include personalized learning, learning analytics, cyber learning environments, educational digital libraries, scholarly communications, human centered computing, and interdisciplinary research methods for studying cognition. I have written 140 articles on these topics, including over 80 peer-reviewed scholarly publications.
