Jamnik Mateja

Mateja Jamnik is full Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Cambridge, UK. She is developing AI techniques for human-like computing – she combines AI reasoning with machine learning techniques in order to advance the explainability of AI systems, and applies them to personalised medicine and tutoring systems. Mateja is passionate about bringing science closer to the public and engages frequently with the media and public science events. Her active support of women scientists was recognised by the Royal Society which awarded her the Athena Prize for founding the pioneering women@CL national network. She has been advising the UK government on policy direction in relation to the impact of AI on society.

Research projects: Mateja’s research is in the areas of artificial intelligence, human-like computation, machine learning, automated reasoning, diagrammatic reasoning, knowledge representation, cognitive science and human-computer interaction. Some recent projects include:

* explainability methods for deep learning
* integrating symbolic methods with neural machine learning (including LLMs) for reasoning
* human adaptable knowledge representations for AI systems
* multi-modal machine learning
* tabular foundation models.
