Knowledge Enhanced Discovery Systems

Incorporating Background Knowledge for Scientific Discovery

The overall goal of this project is to develop and evaluate methods for incorporating existing knowledge into scientific discovery methods. We have divided this goal into three main areas:

• Trainable classification methods
• Exploratory clustering methods
• Modeling and learning user preferences for automatic ranking of items.
