IAI: New members and name

by

We welcome two new members to our group.

  • Martin Georg Skjæveland is an Associate Professor II, with a research focus on semantic technologies and in particular ontology engineering.
  • Magnus Særtsen Book is a PhD student, working on predicting slow onset disasters (such as Influenza, COVID-19) from heterogeneous data sources using deep learning, under the co-supervision of Vinay Setty.

To better reflect our research focus, we have decided to change the name of the group to Information Access & Artificial Intelligence, while keeping the acronym IAI.
