Received his Masters degree in TIC from the National Institute of Telecommunications and ICT (INT-TIC), Oran, Algeria in 2012 and his PhD in Computer Science from the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Oran 1 Ahmed Ben Bella in 2017. Since then, his work has focused on two areas, one being modeling of biomedical engineering?using bioelectrical signals (ECG, EMG, EEG), and the development of federated learning for analysing data behavior, with a particular focus on health-related data privacy. Since 2013, He has been a Lecturer at the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of M’sila, Algeria where he was engaged in delivering lectures on data compression, artificial intelligence and telecom networks.?

As of July 1, 2022, Dr. Barbara Bruno is a Visiting Researcher at the Faculty of Applied Computer Science, in the Department of Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. Her research focuses on Socially Assistive Robots and their use in applications such as elderly care and education.

Specific research interest she currently pursues include:?

• can a robot tell in real time whether a child is learning, and intervene accordingly?
• what mental modelling capabilities does a robot need to collaborate with a child on a learning activity?
• are there (better) alternatives to human-inspired interaction means?

The overarching vision of her research is to bring Socially Assistive Robots at scale, by leveraging AI methods and exploring the potential offered by, for example, sonic interaction.

Matteo Lavit Nicora is a Mechanical Engineer, graduated cum laude at Politecnico di Milano in 2019. He completed his master thesis at the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Florida laboratories in a project aimed at developing intelligent human-robot collaboration for smart factories, which led to a first publication for the Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering. Since February 2020, he started operating for STIIMA–CNR as a Graduate Research Fellow and, starting November 2021, he is also enrolled in the Mechanics and Advanced Engineering Sciences PhD program at the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Bologna. His main research activities focus on the design of human-centred control systems for mechatronic devices in social, rehabilitation and industrial applications. In particular, he works on the exploitation of social, physiological and psychological signals with the aim of characterizing and improving the user’s experience while in interaction with robotic devices.

Dr. Tom Giraud was offering a multimedia project on "Computer-Assisted Therapy of Autism Patients" with a volume of 12 SWS per week over a period of two months - as an elective module for the bachelor's program in Computer Science and the new program in 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】ical Information Sciences and as a compulsory module for the bachelor's program in Computer Science and Multimedia. He is also working on a cooperation with the Dominikus Ringeisen Werk.

In collaboration with the psychologist Prof. Jacqueline Nadel, one of the most famous autism researchers worldwide, Dr. Giraud has developed a tangile virtual environment for the therapy of autism patients. This environment enables autistic children to perform actions together with a virtual character. This environment was developed at our chair. Within the multimedia project the use of this tangile virtual environment can be investigated in a facility with autistic patients.

Prof. Wanner from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona was a guest of the chair in the winter semester 2014. He offered the course "Computer-based generation of natural language".

Prof. Wanner works in the field of computational linguistics.His research foci include automatic multilingual report generation, automatic summarization of written material and information extraction. He is furthermore interested in lexicology and lexicography, and there, in particular, in the recognition, representation and use of lexical idiosyncrasies by both native speakers and learners of a language.

Dr. Brigitte Krenn is a researcher and lecturer at the Austrian Institute for Artificial Intelligence (?FAI). In winter semester 13/14 she visited us as a guest lecturer at the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Augsburg. She offered the internship Game Programming and Artificial Intelligence.

Brigitte Krenn is head of Unit of OFAI's Language and Interaction Technologies Group.

Brigitte Krenn's overall research interest lies in understanding and computationally modelling human communication and interaction capabilities. Her work centers around two pilars.
The one is core language technology combining deep linguistic analysis and shallow corpus-based approaches to text processing.
The other one focuses on multi-modal communicative interaction, including modelling virtual agent behaviours, multimodal dialogue, dialogue and memory, language understanding from the point of view of a situated cognizer, as well as assessing the implications of multimodal signals on the socio-emotional evaluation of the sender (speaker) by the receiver (hearer).

After visiting Augsburg 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 for a couple of month in 2010/2011 in a collaboration project with the groups of Prof. Andre and Prof. Timpf (Geoinformatics), I'm back: From October 2011 to August 2012, I'm happy to work as a Guest Professor at the Institut für Informatik, 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Augsburg. Originally, I'm full professor in Information Technology at the ?rebro 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 in ?rebro, Sweden (>200km west of Stockholm). There, I'm heading the Research Team Multiagent Simulation at the Modeling and Simulation Research Center. On my home webpages, more information about my research and my publications can be found. In ?rebro I'm teaching in the International Master's Program in Robotics and Intelligent Systems as well as in the Bacholor Program on Computer Science for Simulation and Games.

During my time as a Guest Professor, I'm giving a number of courses at the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Augsburg:
