UKCI 2023 · Aston University
Invited keynote addresses delivered during the three-day programme of the 22nd UK Workshop on Computational Intelligence.
Programme
UKCI 2023 featured keynote addresses from three invited researchers. Each address formed the opening highlight of its day, followed by technical sessions and a full schedule of contributed papers.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Yaochu Jin Prof. Keeley Crockett Prof. Durgesh Mishra
Bielefeld University
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Yaochu Jin is a researcher at Bielefeld University and a keynote speaker at UKCI 2023. His address opened the workshop programme, setting the scene for the computational intelligence contributions that followed across the three days.
Keynote Speaker
Prof. Keeley Crockett delivered a keynote address during UKCI 2023, contributing to the discussion on the applications of computational intelligence methods to real-world problems.
Keynote Speaker · Chair, IEEE Task Force on Ethical and Social Implications of Computational Intelligence
Prof. Durgesh Mishra joined UKCI 2023 as a keynote speaker and chaired the IEEE Task Force on Ethical and Social Implications of Computational Intelligence, bringing a perspective on the wider responsibilities of computational intelligence research.
The UKCI 2023 conference programme brought together researchers and practitioners working across computational intelligence and related fields. Keynote addresses opened the main technical days, establishing shared perspectives on current challenges, emerging methods, and the direction of future research. These invited contributions were followed by contributed paper sessions, workshops, and discussions that allowed delegates from academia, industry, and government to exchange ideas on intelligent systems and their practical applications.
Invited speakers included researchers whose keynote addresses reflected complementary areas of computational intelligence. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Yaochu Jin of Bielefeld University opened the workshop programme, while Prof. Keeley Crockett and Prof. Durgesh Mishra also featured as keynote speakers. Each talk served as a highlight for its day and helped frame the technical sessions that followed, connecting wider themes of intelligent methods with the detailed work presented in the conference programme and proceedings.
The programme extended beyond keynote presentations to include technical sessions, contributed papers, and opportunities for delegates to meet and discuss work in progress. Accepted submissions were published in the conference proceedings, forming a record of the ideas and contributions shared during the event. UKCI 2023 was hosted at the University of Aston and organised around the aim of providing a clear platform for experts across different domains to engage with current and future topics in computational intelligence.
The keynote addresses sit alongside the technical sessions and breaks of the daily programme.
