Overview
Background
Dr. Gianluca Demartini is an Associate Professor in Data Science at the University of Queensland, Australia. His main research interests include Information Retrieval, Semantic Web, and Human Computation. His research is currently funded by the Australian Research Council, the Swiss National Science Foundation, Meta, Google, and the Wikimedia Foundation. He received Best Paper Awards at the ACM SIGIR International Conference on the Theory of Information Retrieval (ICTIR) in 2023, AAAI Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing (HCOMP) in 2018, at the European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR) in 2016 and 2020, and the Best Demo award at the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) in 2011. He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific publications including papers at major venues such as WWW, ACM SIGIR, VLDBJ, ISWC, and ACM CHI. He is an ACM Senior Member, ACM Distinguished Speaker, and a TEDx speaker.
Before joining the University of Queensland, he was a Lecturer at the University of Sheffield in UK, post-doctoral researcher at the eXascale Infolab at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, visiting researcher at UC Berkeley, junior researcher at the L3S Research Center in Germany, and intern at Yahoo! Research in Spain. In 2011, he obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Leibniz University of Hannover in Germany focusing on Semantic Search.

Fields of research
Research interests
-
Misinformation
Understanding how people interact with misinformation on social media and using AI to mitigate its spread online.
-
Crowdsourcing and Human Computation
Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of human-in-the-loop systems.
-
Big Data Analytics
Designing algorithms and systems that can scale-out to large amounts of data.
-
AI for Public Good
Using Artificial Intelligence methods for societal and environmental purposes. For example, stopping the spread of misinformation online and identifying chimpanzee in videos for preservation purposes.
Research impacts
The research led by A/Prof. Demartini focuses on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of human-in-the-loop artificial intelligence (AI) systems with application of AI for public good. The application domains of his research include text analytics and the intersection between structured (e.g., knowledge graphs) and unstructured (e.g., text) digital content. During his research career he has collaborated with colleagues from several industry and governmental organizations like for example, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, IBM, SAP, and The National Archives in the UK.
