Brief: 

Grigoris Antoniou is a Professor of computer science at the University of Crete, Greece, and head of the Information Systems Laboratory at FORTH, a Greek research institute involved in many European projects. Before joining FORTH, he held professorial positions at Griffith University, Australia, and the University of Bremen, Germany. His research interests lie in knowledge representation and reasoning, and its applications to the semantic web, e-commerce, digital preservation and ambient intelligence. He has published more than 150 technical papers in scientific journals and conferences. He is author of three books with prestigious international publishers (Addison-Wesley and MIT Press). His book A Semantic Web Primer is the standard textbook in this area. He participates in a number of research projects, among them the European projects REWERSE (reasoning on the Web) and CASPAR (digital preservation). In 2006, he was elected ECCAI Fellow, joining the prestigious list of the top European researchers in artificial intelligence.

A. Prof. Chuan Zhao, Chengdu university of Technology, China

Research Area: 

Intelligence Science, AI Fundamentals, Mathematics and Logic, Natural Language Understanding NLU, Machine Vision and Robotics, etc.

Research Experience:

Zhao Chuan, female, associate professor, master tutor. Graduated from Sichuan University majoring in theoretical physics, on-the-job postgraduate student of University of Science and Technology of China and visiting scholar of University of Science and Technology of China; member of AI Basic Committee of China Artificial Intelligence Society, member of CAAI Intelligent Science Committee (preparation), and IS4IS- Member of CC Education Informatization Special Committee; published more than ten papers, participated in and organized more than 20 domestic and international conferences, and more than 40 lectures; in 2005, he proposed Phase Theorem at the first international pan-logic conference in Switzerland, and devoted himself to its Continue to create and improve; research directions are intelligence science, AI foundation, mathematics and logic, natural language understanding NLU, machine vision and robotics, etc.

In terms of natural language understanding, after nearly 20 years of continuous accumulation by teachers and students, the "fishing boy couplet system" and "poetry eye-driven image ancient poetry generation system" have been established, and further construction and expansion are urgently needed. Especially in the couplet system, some of the downlinks output by the machine have exceeded the level of ordinary people. There are 4 patents in this direction being declared.

In September 2011, he founded the Intelligent Science Laboratory and served as the director of the laboratory. The Intelligent Science Laboratory has become an international interdisciplinary research and exchange platform; it adheres to interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary basic theoretical research, advocates the integration of science and art, and has deep and extensive academic exchanges at home and abroad. More than a dozen foreign scholars have visited and organiz.
