Prof. Dr. Tim Schlippe is a professor of Artificial Intelligence at IU International University of Applied Sciences and CEO of the company Silicon Surfer. He studied computer science at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and did his master's thesis at Carnegie Mellon University. After successfully completing his PhD at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Prof. Dr. Schlippe worked at Across Systems GmbH as a consultant and project manager for several years before founding the company Silicon Surfer. At Silicon Surfer, he develops AI-powered products and services that have social value, e.g., the WaveFont technology which automatically and intuitively visualizes information and emotion from the voice in subtitles and captions. Prof. Dr. Schlippe has in-depth knowledge in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, multilingual speech recognition/synthesis, machine translation, language modeling, computer-aided translation, and entrepreneurship, which can be seen in his numerous publications at international conferences in these areas.



Prof. Dr. Schlippe's current research interests are primarily in the fields of AI in Education, Natural Language Processing, and Subtitling/Captioning. As IU International University of Applied Sciences grows rapidly, especially in distance learning, he investigates innovative methods such as automatic short answer grading, conversational AI, and gamification, which are then used in practice at IU to provide optimal support to both students and teaching staff.



Dr. Grigorios Beligiannis was born in Athens, Greece, in 1974. He graduated from the Department of Computer Engineering and Informatics of the University of Patras in 1997. He finished his postgraduate studies in "Computer and Information Technology" in 2000 and his doctoral dissertation in 2002 at the same time department. In 2007, he was elected to the lecturer's degree with knowledge area "Management Information Systems." In 2011, he has evolved at the rank of an assistant professor; in 2016, at the rank of an associate professor; and in 2020, at the rank of a professor with subject "intelligent information systems." He has 42 published research papers in international scientific journals, 45 published papers in scientific conferences and 3 chapters in edited book series. He is an associate editor of International Journal of Artificial Intelligence and a member of the Editorial Board of Applied Soft Computing, Helyion, International Journal of Intelligent Information Systems and Artificial Intelligence Research. He has been a member of the technical committee at more than 77 international scientific conferences. His research interests focus on intelligent algorithms of decision theory, on intelligent algorithm applications to system identification, parameter estimation and operations research problems and on business intelligence systems.
