Nor Samsiah Sani received a bachelor’s degree in information technology from the Universiti Tenaga Nasional. She then pursued her education by obtaining a PhD at the University of Sheffield. She is the Head of the Artificial Intelligence Programme in the Faculty of Information Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. She has been invited as a speaker for several seminars on Data Analytics. She leads collaborative projects with Malaysian government sectors and industries, focusing on predictive analytics, machine learning, data analytics, evolutionary algorithms, and data mining and optimisation.

Dr.Yudi Guzman Monteza is an Assistant Professor at the National University of San Marcos (UNMSM) and Reserve Officer in the Air Force of Peru (FAP). She performed an internship at the University of Granada (UGR) in the doctoral program at TIC. Currently, her research area is argument mining which takes part in Natural Language Processing because of her ability to design annotation methods and how to get trust data to be used by linguistic computational models or pre-trained language models under a supervised learning approach. This topic is multidisciplinary because linguistics computational is transversal and useful for all disciplines to understand how a computational model can better understand a human´s natural language. Experience in Artificial Neural Networks, Software Engineering, and Natural Language Processing. Prof. Yudi Guzmán supervises theses including master thesis and thesis, to obtain the engineer grade.

Prof. Patrick Siarry was born on May 28, 1952, in Pertuis. His research area is relatively (since 1982) new “metaheuristic” optimization such as simulated annealing, which are indicated for the so-called problems of “hard optimization” because of their ability to avoid in principle, trapping in sub-optimal solutions. This topic is multidisciplinary in nature, both by the source of the methods studied (physics, biology, ethology). Prof. Siarry has 12 frames at 100% of doctoral theses, including 1 in progress; 9 frames at 50% of doctoral theses, including 6 ongoing; 6 joint supervision of doctoral theses, including 5 courses; 4 frames partial (< 30%) of doctoral theses; 2 research post-doctoral; 18 internships DEA or Master 2 research; 2 stages of “ownership” of the Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal; 2 memories Engineer CNAM; 1 team of industrial research project (two engineers and one technician); 10 training engineering degree or master’s and 2 stages of BTS or DUT.
