Dr. Miguel Vargas Martin

October 28 - Artificial Intelligence as an enabler of inclusive technologies and education.

Ontario Tech Univesity, Canada.

Dr. Miguel Vargas Martin is Professor of Computer Science at Ontario Tech University. He has a Ph.D. (Computer Science) from Carleton University, a Master's (Electrical Engineering) from CINVESTAV from IPN, and a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) from UAA. Dr. Martin is a licensed professional engineer in the province of Ontario and CEO of PHractal.ca. His research focuses primarily on computer authentication paradigms and the use of phenomena of the human mind through brain-computer interfaces, as well as proven techniques in the field of psychology. Most significantly, the use and reliance on machine learning over the last decade has made him a data scientist using the scientific method in combination with machine learning algorithms and feature engineering techniques, to make sense of large data sets from the real world and adjust data models in response to data changes over time. In addition, he is currently exploring artificial intelligence for companion robots by drawing on his deep learning / machine learning expertise and experience with the phenomena of the human mind. Idle areas that lost traction for various reasons include network steganography in the form of hidden Wi-Fi channels, adaptive online learning systems, and the fight against child exploitation on the Internet.
