My research activity focuses mainly on the themes of Artificial Intelligence and Data Management about techniques and applications of machine learning and recommender systems. Recently, my attention has shifted to exploiting the information encoded within Big Data datasets, such as those available thanks to the Linking Open Data initiative, to create content-based recommendation engines (content-based) or hybrid ones. On personalized information access and the modeling of user preferences, I have recently proposed innovative solutions that combine and integrate different aspects, solutions, and techniques from Artificial Intelligence.
Of great interest to my research is the security of Artificial Intelligence systems with particular reference to Adversarial Machine Learning.
Initially, my research was dedicated to solving theoretical and practical problems in distributed scenarios of resource retrieval and automatic reasoning. In order to verify the validity of the obtained results, these have consistently been implemented and tested in different application domains such as e-commerce, business process management, Web Service discovery, and decision support systems for skills management in recruitment agencies. Subsequently, guided by the results achieved in electronic commerce, my attention shifted to studying new ways to combine knowledge representation techniques and automatic reasoning, both to automatic negotiation between rational agents with preferences and to ubiquitous scenarios and protocols.

I am an auditor for national and international research projects related to my research topics, for high-level international journals and conferences in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Semantic Web, and Recommender Systems.

Research and Education Director of DIH4.AI – https://dih4.ai

Head of Biomedical Engineering Department and Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics, Gdansk University of Technology, Poland (www.biomed.edu.pl, https://mostwiedzy.pl/en/jacek-ruminski,11727-1)

Currently involved in 6 projects:
– deep learning for CT image classification (brain hemorrhages)
– machine learning for physical activity analysis and healthy life prognosis
– machine learning for image processing in dental studies
– application of machine learning for biomedical signal analysis to support active assistive living
– support for industry and administration regarding applications of AI – Digital Innovation Hub
– biosignals estimation from thermal and visible light image sequences.

My research topics are focused on machine learning, computer vision and pattern recognition methods applied for healthcare and well-being. I am especially interested in smart methods of information extraction from image sequences and from still images. Examples include: reliable extraction of pulse rate and pulse waveform from visible light, face video, reliable extraction of respiratory rate and respiration waveforms from thermal, face video, emotion recognition based on analysis of facial (visible/infrared) image sequences. Many special research problems and questions are related to these examples. For instance: How to improve the resolution and quality of thermal images (e.g., development of super-resolution models and algorithms)? How to accurately detect facial regions like a nose, mouth in thermal images? And many others. The machine learning algorithms and models are especially useful for these purposes. From the practical point of view, I am interested how such methods could be efficiently implemented in smart glasses, smartphones, or using interactive web applications (e.g., using WebRTC) in different devices. The potential applications include remote medical diagnostics, self-diagnostics, support for tele-rehabilitation, etc.
This is also related with my interest in the development of human-system interaction methods, devices and applications. For example, a physician using smart glasses could automatically recognise a patient, collect information from available health records, measure vital signs and other parameters using a non-intrusive, non-invasive and not disturbing way. All collected data could be automatically integrated.
My interest in human-system interaction methods is also focused on the data processing methods to classify gestures. For example, we are using neural networks to classify data from small optical sensors for the effective hand gesture recognition and to provide an inexpensive touchless interface.
My other research topics are focused on colour processing in images. I am interested in the analysis of the role of colour as an information carrier, especially for colour blinded observers. Recently, I have been analysing how the popular, CNN-based, data classification models like e.g., Inception, VGG, ResNet are sensitive to colour changes, especially in the context of colour degradations related to colour-blinded people.
Finally, we are currently starting a cooperation with the BioBank in Poland (a member of the European BioBank’s network) to use machine learning methods for the processing (classification, recommendation, etc.) of multimodal medical data. First, we will focus on the classification and detections issues related to microscopic images in digital pathology.

I obtained my PhD at the Faculty of Economics and Business of KU Leuven. My research interests are in applied machine learning and data analytics in business areas such as business process management (process mining), marketing (churn prediction), banking and finance (fraud analytics), and education (learning analytics).
