VLDB Workshop on Ontologies-based techniques for DataBases and Information Systems


FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2nd

=====================

 

2:00PM: Welcome Note by Workshop Organizers

2:15PM: Invited Talk

Conceptual Knowledge Processing  slides

Gerd Stumme, University of Kassel

 

Abstract: 

Knowledge processing mainly deals with the organizational and technical support of knowledge processes. Important activities of knowledge processing are discovering and structuring knowledge, derivation of new knowledge, and communication of the knowledge. Since human thinking is conceptually organized, a major issue in knowledge processing is a semantics-based support of these tasks. In the presentation, the exploitation and generation of conceptual knowledge in the related research  areas Knowledge Discovery, Information Retrieval, and Peer to Peer is  discussed by three examples: (i) conceptual clustering with background  knowledge, (ii) conceptual email management, (iii) semantic-based routing  in peer to peer systems.

 

Biography: 

Gerd Stumme is Full Professor of Computer Science, and is leading the research unit on Knowledge and Data Engineering at the University of Kassel. He earned his PhD in 1997 at Darmstadt University of Technology, and his Habilitation at the Institute AIFB of the University of Karlsruhe in 2002. In 1999/2000 he was Visiting Professor at the University of Clermont-Ferrand, France, and Substitute Professor for Machine Learning and Knowledge Discovery at the University of Magdeburg in 2003.
Gerd Stumme published over 80 articles at national and international conferences and in journals, and chaired several workshops and conferences. He is member in the Editorial Boards of the Intl. Journal on Data Warehousing and Mining and of the International Conference on Conceptual Structures, and was also member of several conference and workshop Program Committees. Gerd Stumme led several national and European projects, eg, the current national project "Personalized Access to Distributed Learning Resources (PADLR)". Additionally he is co-chairing the Web Mining Forum of the European Network of Excellence KDNet. More information on Gerd Stumme can be found at <http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/index_en.html>.
