Profile page(s)
Hamid Bouchachia is Professor at Bournemouth University, Faculty of Science and Technology, Department of Computing and Informatics, UK. His major research interests include Machine Learning and big data, with a particular focus on online learning, semi-supervised learning, active learning, learning with constraints, scalable learning, prediction systems, and uncertainty modelling with applications in pattern recognition, ubiquitous health monitoring, smart environments and technologies, assistive technologies and crisis management.
He has been coordinating leading and participating in big European and national projects, which allowed him to secure fund and supervise 14 PhD students to completion and 5 postdoc researchers. Such projects cross the disciplinary borders, calling for interdisciplinary research. He has published more than 140 papers in top journals and conferences. Hamid is a member of the Evolving Intelligent Systems Technical Committee of the Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society of IEEE, member of the “IEEE Task-Force for Adaptive and Evolving Fuzzy Systems" and Senior Member of the IEEE Society. He was the founder and general chair of the International Conference on Adaptive and Intelligent Systems (ICAIS). He serves as program committee member for many conferences and project assessor for many national and international funding organisations.
