Guide for creating Companion Proceeding at CEUR.WS

This document aims to streamline the creation of conference companion proceedings to be published on CEUR.WS. This is typically a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, but with careful management and leadership, we believe we can significantly reduce the effort required. In this document, we will first describe what is a companion proceeding and how it is … Read more

SKM3 Research

My team’s research leverages the combined capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Scientific Knowledge Graphs (SKGs). These graphs provide a way to structure and represent scientific information, enabling AI to analyse complex research concepts. Their combination facilitates us in developing novel approaches and large-scale tools to analyse trends, explore research data and metadata, automatically generate … Read more

Vademecum for Succeeding your TMA

This document is meant to help my students from the M269 (Algorithms, data structures and computability) module in succeeding their TMAs, and completing the module. It contains a few notes drawn from my past experiences in marking TMAs and tips to achieve higher scores. Nonetheless, students from other modules, and other universities, can also use … Read more

CEUR-WS Policy on AI-Assisting Tools

Effective January 1, 2025, CEUR-WS will adopt a new policy about using Generative AI in papers. This policy mandates that authors: i) declare the use of GenAI tools in the paper, ii) review and edit any AI-generated content, and iii) not list AI tools as authors.   I led its development, in collaboration with Fabrizio … Read more
