Hamid Bouchachia

Hamid Bouchachia is a Professor of Data Science and Intelligent Systems at the Department of Computing and Informatics, Faculty of Science and Technology at Bournemouth University, UK. His research encompasses various topics of Artificial Intellignce and Data Science. Specifically, he is interested in scalable machine learning, scalable online, active, semi-supervised learning for data streams, scalable pattern recognition including deep learning and hierarchical (graphical) models, reasoning, decision making, big data technologies and high-performance computing for ML. He published more than 180 papers in journals and conferences and edited several special issues and volumes. He currently serves as program committee member for many conferences and acts as Editor for 4 journals: IEEE Transactions on AI, Journal of Big Data (Springer), Evolving Systems (Springer) and Network: Computation in Neural Systems (Taylor & Francis). He is member of Evolving Intelligent Systems (EIS) Technical Committee (TC) of the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society and member of the IEEE Taskforce for Adaptive and Evolving Fuzzy Systems of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society. He led and coordinated EU projects and proposals and in various areas, particularly around machine learning and data science and their applications in various domains such as security, cybersecurity, disaster management, ubiquitous health, smart environments, industrial monitoring; smart energy; and assistive technologies. In particular, he coordinated the PROTEUS project (scalable online machine learning for predictive analytics) and participated as principal investigator in a number of collaborative projects, e.g., BRIDGE, INFER, EXTREMEXP, ARTEMIS, and PRESERVE.
