Vivek Kumar (PhD)

Research Scientist

Trinity College Dublin

Dr. Vivek Kumar (SMIEEE, Fellow-SCRS) is an NLP enthusiast and currently a Research Scientist at the ADAPT Research Centre at Trinity College Dublin, University of Dublin, Ireland. Before this, he was a senior researcher at the University of Federal Armed Forces (UniBwM) under the Ministry of Defence, Germany. He coordinated STELAR, an EU Horizon project focused on “Artificial Intelligence, Data, and Robotics.”

In 2019, he was awarded the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship under the EU Horizon 2020 ITN network PhilHumans where he worked at Philips Research (Netherlands) and the University of Cagliari (Italy) and received his doctorate in 2023. Before this, Dr. Kumar worked as a Research Engineer for the project “Search for Hidden Particles” (SHiP) of the European Commission of Nuclear Research (CERN) at NUST-MiSiS.

He has been a reviewer/PC/TPC member and co-chair for several top conferences/workshops, including ACL, EMNLP, IJCAI, ECAI, ECML-PKDD, ACM-SAC, DSAA, ICASSP and several high-impact journals from Elsevier, IEEE, Springer, and MDPI. Dr. Kumar is also a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a fellow of the Soft Computing Research Society (SCRS). He is also a member of the International Neural Network Society (INNS) and the International Association of Engineers (IAENG). Dr. Kumar is a seasoned speaker and has delivered several keynote and technical talks.

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
