Prof. Dr. Rudi Studer (FZI), President, Semantic Web Science AssociationProf. Dr. Studer (FZI) offers over 25 years of research and applied IT solutions development in the areas of knowledge management, semantic web technologies and applications, ontology management, data and text mining, service-oriented architectures and semantic grid. He is a teaching professor in Applied Informatics at the University of Karlsruhe, Institute AIFB and he is also director in the research department Information Process Engineering at the FZI Research Center for Information Technologies at the University of Karlsruhe and member of the executive board of the FZI Research Center. Prof. Dr. Studer is the founding president of the Semantic Web Science Association (SWSA), a founding member of the German Society for Knowledge Management (Gesellschaft für Wissensmanagement). He is one of the vice presidents of Semantic Technology Institute International (STI2), and was the editor in chief of the Elsevier Journal of Web Semantics from 2003 - 2007.“Before MailMinder, enterprises were relegated to manually analyzing a small percentage of the unstructured customer information they received – with MailMinder’s patented text classification method enterprises can automate this labor-intensive and time-consuming process analyzing all text-based customer interactions with unprecedented accuracy.” Prof. Dr. Rudi Studer, President of the Semantic Web Science Association |

Dr. Siegfried Kunzmann, Head, Research & Development (EML)Dr. Siegfried “Jimmy” Kunzmann imparts decades of unique expertise in voice research, and he was instrumental in the development of automated language recognition and text-to-speech synthesis - the understanding of spoken language. A world-renowned speaker and expert on language processing and machine translation, he is currently the head of Research and Development at the private IT research institute European Media Labratory GmbH (EML), established by Klaus Tschira, co-founder of SAP. EML engages in R & D in the fields of man-machine interaction (e.g. knowledge representation in relation to dialogue systems) and automatic language processing. Prior to joining EML, Dr. Kunzmann was head of the language technology research at IBM's European Voice Technology Development team, which he established in the mid-nineties and led for more than ten years. |

Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Wahlster (DFKI), CEO, German Research Center for Artificial IntelligenceProf. Dr. Wolfgang Wahlster has published more than 170 technical papers and eight books on language technology and intelligent user interfaces. Recipient of countless honors and international awards for his research contributions, Wolfgang Wahlster is currently the director and CEO of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence and a professor of Computer Science at Saarland University (Saarbrücken, Germany). In 2000, he was appointed as a professor of Computational Linguistics at Saarland. In addition, he is the head of the Intelligent User Interfaces Lab at DFKI. His current research includes multimodal and perceptive user interfaces, user modeling, ambient intelligence, embodied conversational agents, smart navigation systems, semantic web services, and resource-adaptive cognitive technologies.“Living-e has continuously fine-tuned its core technologies, originally developed at DFKI nearly ten years ago. Their solutions are ready to boost existing business intelligence tools with semantic technologies.” Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Wahlster, CEO, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence |

Prof. Dr. Hans Uszkoreit, Head, DFKI Language Technology LabProf. Dr. Hans Uszkoreit is a renowned and widely published natural language research scientist and expert with more than two decades of national and international experience. Currently, he is professor of Computational Linguistics at Saarland University. At the same time he serves as scientific director at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) where he has headed the DFKI Language Technology Lab since 1989. A Fulbright recipient and former computer scientist at the Artificial Intelligence Center of SRI International in Menlo Park, Ca, he was also affiliated with the Center for the Study of Language and Information at Stanford University as a senior researcher and later as a project leader. A position he also later held at IBM Germany in the project LILOG (Linguistic and Logical Methods for the Understanding of German Texts). His current research interests are computer models of natural language understanding and production, advanced applications of language and knowledge technologies such as semantic information systems, trans-lingual technologies, cognitive foundations of language and knowledge, deep linguistic processing of natural language, syntax and semantics of natural language and the grammar of German."Living-e core technology provides the much needed gateway between unstructured and structured data. Now CRM and other existing infrastructures can understand, interpret, and intelligently respond to natural language, as it slips easily into the existing ecosystem of e-business.” Prof. Dr. Hans Uszkoreit, Head of Language Technology Lab, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence |
