Knowledge Discovery Group

The mission of the Knowledge Discovery group is to extract the maximum value out of data. To that end, we follow a data-driven approach, which is domain-agnostic in its application. Our research is related to the scientific fields of machine learning and natural language processing. Methods from these fields form the algorithmic base of data science, artificial intelligence and interactive applications.
