Mateja Jamnik

Mateja Jamnik is a full professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Cambridge, UK. She is developing AI techniques for human-like computing, combining AI reasoning with machine learning to advance the explainability of AI systems. She applies these techniques to personalized medicine and tutoring systems. Passionate about making science accessible to the public, Jamnik frequently engages with the media and participates in public science events. Her active support of women in science was recognized by the Royal Society, which awarded her the Athena Prize for founding the pioneering national network, women@CL. She has also advised the UK government on policy related to the impact of AI on society.

Research projects: Prof. Jamnik’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.
