Dr Stevan Rudinac
Associate Professor of artificial intelligence for business at the University of Amsterdam, NL
He has worked as a researcher at the University of Belgrade, Eindhoven University of Technology, and the Netherlands Forensic Institute. In his research, he aims at enabling multimedia analytics based on the relevance criteria defined at a higher semantic level, by jointly analyzing visual content and the heterogeneous information associated with it, ranging from text and automatically generated metadata to information about users and their social network. His research focuses on urban computing and business applications.
​Dr Suvodeep Mazumdar
Lecturer in Data Analytics at the University of Sheffield, UK
His research explores developing techniques and mechanisms for reducing the barrier for user communities in understanding very large complex multidimensional datasets. Suvodeep conducts inter-disciplinary research on highly engaging, interactive and visual mechanisms in conjunction with complex querying techniques for seamless navigation, exploration and understanding of complex datasets. He has applied his research in a wide range of application domains such as Aerospace Engineering, Sports Informatics, Crisis/Emergency Management, Smart Cities and Mobility Planning. Suvodeep has worked on several large research and industrial projects funded by the UKRI, European Union, Innovate the UK and European Space Agency.
