Abstract
The program proposes the continuation of the successful research program Knowledge Technologies, which was at its start six years ago evaluated by the ARRS funding agency as the best Slovene Computer Science program and recognized as the most successful Slovenian research program in terms of established European research collaborations and funding.   In the last six years we have collaborated in 52 FP7 projects, including our coordination of FP7 projects MAESTRA, NRG4Cast, TOPOSYS and XLike, and recent inclusion in the prestigious FP7 FET Flagship "Human Brain Project". We published numerous research papers in top-ranked journals in the area, and wrote a Springer monograph for which the program group leader received the national Zois recognition award in 2013. In 2011 and 2012, three of our contributions were recognized by the ARRS agency as outstanding Slovenian research achievements. We received the "World Summit Award" for the VideoLectures.net portal, we twice got the "Google Digital Humanities Research Award", and got 5 best conference paper awards. Program group researchers are successful also as supervisors of postgraduate students, as 18 students obtained MSc degrees and 22 students obtained PhD degrees under our supervision in the last six years.    Based on current high-quality research and the fact that the program group has doubled its size in the last ten years, we propose an ambitious Knowledge Technologies research program for the next funding period. We will follow new research trends and - as coordinators of European research projects - create new research areas. Research will be performed along five main research threads: (a) complex data analytics, including scientific and heterogeneous networked data, (b) big data analytics from text, multimedia and other multi-modal data, (c) computational creativity, as a new area of our research, especially in connection with scientific discovery, (d) decision support, including relational modeling and integration with data mining, and (e) language technologies and digital humanities, including machine learning of language structure and development of language resources for Slovene.   As coordinators of European projects we will significantly contribute to research advances in the areas of data mining, text mining, machine translation and multimedia data analysis and co-create yet unexplored research avenues in mining and analysis of (a) heterogeneous and structured data, (b) very complex and big data, (c) high frequency data streams, (d) incompletely or partially labeled data, (e) spatio-temporal and network data, (f) non-homogenous data streams including sensor data, (g) cross-lingual and multi-lingual data, and (h) complex multi-modal data. As partners in three new EU projects we will be able to set new research trends also in the area of computational creativity.
Significance for science
The proposed research in the area of knowledge technologies strives for research excellence and aims at setting new research trends in collaboration with partners from the numerous European projects in which we participate. Through research excellence and transfer of scientific results into practice we will continue to contribute to Slovene competitiveness in the European and international research arena. Our group is already a key international player in the areas of complex data analysis, big data, text and multi-media analysis. These are just some of the more recent research topics of the program, which will be further strengthened in the next program period. Our key role is exemplified by our successful participation in numerous international projects, including 52 EU projects in the 2009-2014 program funding period, four of which we currently coordinate (FP7 projects MAESTRA, NRG4Cast, TOPOSYS, XLike).   We have published and will continue to publish papers in journals with the highest impact factors in the field of machine learning, data mining and knowledge management (JMLR, MLJ, DMKD, Knowledge-Based Systems, etc.) and in other top scientific journals (Nature Methods, PLOS Computational Biology, PLOS One, etc.) and will continue to present our work at prestigious international conferences (ECML/PKDD, IDA, ICDM, ILP, DS, NIPS, etc.). We will continue to be active as organizers and chairs of program committees, continuing our established engagement as organizers of numerous international conferences, workshops, tutorials, seminars and summer schools (ECML/PKDD-09, AIME 2011, ILP 2012, ICCC 2014, DS/ALT 2014), will be active as members of editorial boards of scientific journals (MLJ, DAMI, ACM TKDD, AIM, AAI, JMLR, JAIR, AI Com, IJCL, JLRE, EcoMod, EcoInf), conference program committees (ICML, ECML/PKDD, ICDM, ILP, KDD, IDA, ACL, etc.), as well as by giving invited lectures at conferences. We will continue collaborations with distinguished scientific (Stanford, MIT, Tokyo Institute of Technology, etc.) and industrial (Microsoft Research Cambridge, British Telecom, New York Times) institutions.   Given the extensive growth of data and data gathering facilities (environmental sensors, high throughput technologies and social web applications) we will further contribute to the research in complex data analytics and big data analysis, and continue in setting new research trends in text and multi-media mining and other areas of multi-modal data analysis. We will also contribute to the areas of decision support, language technologies and digital humanities and will open up new research directions in the area of computational creativity, e.g., through our participation in three current EU projects. Finally, we envision breakthroughs in the development of service-oriented data-analytic infrastructures, using cloud computing and algorithm parallelization.
Significance for the country
Through basic research, we will directly contribute to the advances in information technologies, needed for the Slovene knowledge-based society. We will contribute to advances through continued participation in EU projects, further enabling Slovenian industrial partners to become members of European consortia. Basic research in knowledge technologies has become increasingly important also as a provider of advanced ICT infrastructures to other disciplines, including environment protection, bioinformatics, medicine, health care, economy and management, where we will contribute to applications development. Of special importance for existing businesses and as potential for founding new businesses is the development of our open-source programs and platforms, enabling Slovene and European businesses to increase their added-value with minimal added investment. The second role of the program is indirect, through the impact on socio-economic and cultural development of Slovenia. (a) Complex data analytics, text and multimedia mining methods will be used (in continued collaboration with Slovene industrial partners) in practical solutions in the areas of environmental protection, health care, finance, social network and media analysis. (b) By using multiparameter decision support, positive impact on societal and service sectors will be achieved via applications in education, health care and investments/projects assessment, leading to greater efficiency and operational transparency of public and governmental institutions. (c) Contribution to Slovene cultural development is based on the fact that the cultural identity of Slovenes is intimately tied to our language. Our language technologies and digital heritage research contributes to the accessibility of written Slovene cultural heritage through open digital editions of historical (for which we were twice granted Google awards) and contemporary Slovene language resources, which are used in teaching of the Slovene language, in lexicography, machine translation, and in the development of modern computational methods for processing of Slovene, thus empowering Slovene to fully function in the information society. The program will significantly impact businesses and education by continued know-how transfer through applied projects and seminars organized by the JSI Center for IT Knowledge Transfer, while distance learning is enabled through our award-winning portal VideoLectures.net, already providing over 16,000 video lectures. We will further contribute to postgraduate education as professors and supervisors at the University of Ljubljana, Maribor, and Nova Gorica and several foreign universities. In 2004 we have founded the Knowledge Technologies module of the ICT postgraduate study program at the Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate School, in which we are yearly responsible for six courses and for supervising many PhD/MSc students.
