Hi, bonjour, yeia

Welcome to my personal web-page. I am Argyris Kalogeratos (Αργύρης Καλογεράτος), I come from Patras, Greece. My background is on Computer Science and I have a PhD on Machine Learning (2013).

Click for short bio

Argyris Kalogeratos holds a PhD in Computer Science (2013) from the University of Ioannina, Greece, on Machine Learning and Information Technologies, under the supervision of Prof. Aristidis Likas. His expertise ranges from Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, to Complex Networks and Decision & Control. Currently, A.K. is a permanent researcher at the Borelli Research Center, ENS Paris-Saclay, and member of the Machine Learning and Massive Data Analysis group (MLMDA). He is the primary investigator of the Machine Learning on Graphs and Complex Systems research theme. His research work has been published in journals such as IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering, Springer’s Knowledge and Information Systems, Elsevier’s Data and Knowledge Engineering, as well as conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, AAAI, AISTATS, INFOCOM, CDC, and others. Being affiliated with the Industrial Data Analytics and Machine Learning Chair (IdAML) of ENS Paris-Saclay, he has been involved in several synergistic projects among Academia and Industry for problems related to multimedia mining, social network analysis and mining, computational epidemiology, marketing, transportation, communication systems, and bioinformatics.

Currently

Position: I am a permanent researcher at the Centre Giovanni Borelli (ex Centre de Mathématiques et de Leurs Applications – CMLA), Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay (ENS Paris-Saclay), University Paris-Saclay, France, and member of the Machine Learning and Massive Data Analysis (MLMDA) research group (head: Nicolas Vayatis).

Research focus: Coordinator of the ML on Graphs research theme.

Research initiatives: I participate to the research activities of the ML Industrial Big Data Chair (C.Borelli team: Charles Truong, Harry Sevi, Argyris Kalogeratos, Mathilde Mougeot, Nicolas Vayatis — past: Julien Audiffren). Among our industrial partners, there are ATOS – Wordline, SNCF, CEA, Michelin, Bertin Tech, and Banque de France.

Past funding: My research position at CMLA has been funded in the past by the MORANE project (in collaboration with SNCF railway company) and the SODATECH project  (funded by the French state) for which I was the research coordinator and responsible for CMLA’s part. See more details at the “Projects” section.

Centre Borelli in a sentence

CB is a unique and dynamic environment where the academic research is developed while being challenged in real practical and industrial applications.
