معرفی
Konstantinos Skianis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Ioannina, Greece. His research lies at the intersection of Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Data Science, with a focus on representations, regularization, robustness, and reasoning (the 4R's). He has founded the Greek AI company BLUAI and co-founded PrimeHost AI, a startup automating guest conversations using AI.
- Ph.D. in Computer Science, École Polytechnique, France (2015–2019)
- M.Sc. in Math, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning, École Normale Supérieure de Cachan, France (2014–2015)
- B.Sc. in Computer Science, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece (2013)
His research interests span Natural Language Processing, Graph Neural Networks, Large Language Models, Representation Learning, and Medical AI. He investigates robustness in neural networks, reasoning with LLMs via pseudo-code, and multilingual applications in low-resource settings like Greek. His recent work includes digital twins for industrial optimization, climate adaptation in ports using ML, and mental health detection via LLMs.
The 15 most recent publications reflect a strong trend in graph-based learning, LLM reasoning, representation robustness, and applied AI in healthcare and industry. His work combines theoretical rigor with practical applications, often involving real-world datasets from public health, industrial processes, and climate science.
- Best Paper Award, TextGraphs at NAACL 2018
- OpenAI Researcher Access Program (2024)
He has advised or collaborated on several student projects and competitions, including the Data Mining Cup and Kaggle challenges. He has secured research support through the OpenAI credits program. He has taught courses in Linear Algebra, Data Mining, and advanced labs on graph and text learning at ENS Paris-Saclay. He is actively involved in the research community as an Area Chair for ARR (2025) and reviewer for top-tier venues like NeurIPS, ICLR, ACL, and EMNLP.
He leads or contributes to open-source tools such as GoWvis (text visualization), GraKeL (graph kernel library), and SpreadViz (influence spread visualization). His work on Greek NLP resources has helped advance language technology for low-resource languages.
