Prof. Yaxin Bi 
Ulster University, UK

Yaxin Bi is a Professor in Artificial Intelligence Research Centre within the School of computing at Ulster University. Yaxin’s research interests are in the fields of machine learning and ensemble learning in conjunction with the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. He has pioneered ensemble approaches for combining multiple classifiers using Dempster’s rule of combination, as well as measuring the diversity impact of evidential classifiers with varying metrics. His research extends to the development of deep learning-based data analytics and decision-making methods to tackle real-world challenges, such as of anomaly detection in satellite data and manufacturing process. Yaxin has over 200 peer-reviewed publications across international journals and conference proceedings. He held key roles for various international conferences, including program co-chair for The International Conference on Knowledge Science, Engineering and Management (KSEM 2010 and 2023), and general co-chair for KSEM 2022 and The 8th International Conference on Belief Functions (BELIEF 2024), etc. eight international conferences, as well as a steering committee member for both the KSEM Conferences and the Science and Information (SAI) Conferences. Yaxin also served as associate editors for the International Journal of Artificial Intelligence Review, the International Journal of Intelligent Systems and Real-Word Data Science.
