Prof. Timo Honkela is currently a chief scientist at Adaptive Informatics Research Center of Helsinki University of Technology (TKK). The unit is a center of excellence appointed by the Academy of Finland. In the center, Honkela is the head of one of the five research groups called Computational Cognitive Systems. Earlier he has served as a professor at the laboratory of computer and information science at TKK and as a professor at the Media Lab of University of Art and Design Helsinki. He is also a docent in three universities and has given hundreds of presentations and invited talks in locations such as Kobe, Beijing, Dubai, Washington D.C., Boston and many European major cities. Honkela has conducted research on several areas related to knowledge engineering, cognitive modeling and natural language processing including a central role in the development of the Websom method for visual information retrieval and text mining based on the Kohonen self-organizing map algorithm. The current research interests include cognitive modeling, statistical machine translation, adaptive knowledge representation and reasoning based on continuous formal systems, and the underlying cognitive, linguistic and philosophical issues. Honkela is a former long-term chairman of the Finnish Artificial Intelligence Society. He is currently the vice chair of Finnish Cognitive Linguistics Association and the chair of the IFIP working group on knowledge representation and reasoning (WG 12.1). |
