Dr. Mercedes Arguello Casteleiro

Dr Mercedes Arguello Casteleiro has a PhD in Physics and is an elected committee member of BCS SGAI (the Specialist Group on Artificial Intelligence of the British Computer Society). She is investigating the benefits and drawbacks of combining Symbolic AI with Neural AI, including the fine-tuning of small/medium-size LLMs with specialised datasets of unstructured data (e.g. written narratives and biomedical images). She took lectureship positions in Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton, and before, in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. The undergraduate and postgraduate students interest in AI triggered her current work in Low-code/no-code AI with LLMs, such as multimodal LLMs that can produce content (text, image, video, or audio/speech) as output (generative AI). Before being a lecturer, she was a researcher in the Bio-Health Informatics Group at the University of Manchester.
