Senior Consultant
Biography
I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Vision and have a solid foundation in Computer Science. I am an enthusiast in all things AI, metadata modeling, and linked data, with a strong academic background and a track record of practical experience in AI, and Machine Learning.
Dedicated to the advancement of semantic technologies, I have actively contributed as a member of the SEMIC community and team for several years. Currently, I am focusing on knowledge transfer and semantic transformation within public administrations and European organizations, playing a role in enhancing data interoperability and information exchange.
Beyond my current work, I have a keen interest in identifying ways to bring together symbolic and sub-symbolic AI through the use of ontologies and Large Language Models (LLMs).

Team leader & Programme manager, DG DIGIT, European Commission
Biography
Zsofia Sziranyi is leading the digital-ready policymaking team of the European Commission. Her aim is to facilitate smooth digital implementation of public policies by bringing colleagues with diverse profiles (covering domain, business process, data, ICT or implementation expertise) together early on in the policy design. She believes in the power of co-creation and knowledge-sharing and that inspiring projects often start over an informal coffee with a pinch of open mindset and a great deal of enthusiasm.
