Scientific evenings
University of Nova Gorica invites to the lecture: "Advances in Data Mining for Biomedical Research " by Prof. Dr. Nada Lavrač (Jožef Stefan Institute and University of Nova Gorica).
Lecture will take place on Wednesday, 16 April 2014 at 7 p.m. at the Lanthieri mansion in Vipava.
Lecture will be in Slovene.
The lecture draws mostly from the computer science field and presents computer programs for intelligent data analysis. This core area of research of the Department of Knowledge Technology at the Jožef Stefan Institute has recently been supplemented with the computational creativity – a multidisciplinary field of science in the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, and philosophy. The goal of this field is to develop programs capable of creative functioning that resembles human creative behavior. The lecture focuses on creative investigation of data properties with the help of data mining programs. With the tabular data and the corpus of available texts, these data mining programs can give us prediction models, interesting patterns, data subgroups, as well as exceptions and outliers in the data. The lecture also addresses the methods for discovering interesting subgroups in relational databases, as well as new methods for semantic data mining. The latter enable, with the use of prior knowledge of domain ontologies, detection of patterns in complex biomedical applications.
