Overview
This seminar focuses on studying selected topics and the current state of the art in the areas of data mining, information retrieval, adaptive systems, and recommender systems as well as their various cross-roads. The topics may include (but are not limited to) different aspects of personalization and adaptation in IS, user modeling, privacy-preservation, domain knowledge integration, ontologies and semantic web, development of generic frameworks and approaches, handling streaming data, and developing specialized applications.

A detailed list of recommended titles and reading material will be made available during the course.
Please notice that this seminar series first of all is aimed to help master level students in preparation for their graduation projects. Therefore, a reasonable degree of freedom will be given in the selection of topics and assignments.

The students taking this seminar are expected:

  • to provide an overview (with a focus on research questions) of the important research papers in these areas,
  • to study common underlying techniques and research methods,
  • to find/identify potential research projects, and
  • to conduct experiments (or develop a framework; depends on a selected topic/assignment) and report the findings
  • to present and defend the obtained results.

 

Deliverables

Two reports:

·       Intermediate literature analysis and problem description report,

·       Final report that includes literature analysis, description of research question(s), proposed approach and obtained results. Depending on the type of the project you may need to enclose different appendixes including data, software, results and alike.

Each student (or a group of 2 students in case of many participants) will make correspondingly two presentations:

·       Intermediate about the literature analysis and problem formulation, and

·       Final about the research question(s), approach and obtained results.

Format and Participation

·       Introduction to selected areas, topics, problem formulation by the responsible lecturers, other staff members of DH group and guest lecturers.

·       Student presentations followed by discussions moderated by the responsible lecturer.

 

The schedule will be fixed shortly after the first meeting on Thursday (15:45 – 17:30), 8 September 2011 in laplace-gebouw -1.19.
