The Hellenic Artificial Intelligence Society (EETN) continues to actively support its members by providing financial assistance for participation in leading international AI conferences. The EETN Board approved funding for two regular members attending ADBIS 2025 and ECAI 2025, up to €400 each:

Participation of Mr. Dimitrios Karapiperis at ADBIS 2025 (Tampere, Finland)

Mr. Karapiperis attended the 29th European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS 2025) and presented his paper: “LSBlock: A Hybrid Blocking System Combining Lexical and Semantic Similarity Search for Record Linkage”. The work introduces LSBlock, an innovative hybrid system for Entity Resolution that integrates lexical and semantic similarity search using pretrained models, significantly improving accuracy and recall in record linkage.

Participation of Mr. Vasilis Kochliaridis at ECAI 2025 (Bologna, Italy)

Mr. Kochliaridis participated in the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2025), presenting his paper: “Learning to InMoov: A Deep Learning Approach to Modeling Human Hand”. This work focuses on developing an open-source robotic arm powered by AI, capable of teleoperation and voice-controlled interaction, aiming to achieve natural human–machine interaction without complex programming.

EETN warmly congratulates both members for their successful participation and for showcasing Greek AI research on the international stage!
