 Information Retrieval
 Web Search Engine:
 Web Crawling, Indexing, Query Processing...
 Web Crawler is a software that automatically discovers
Web pages and downloads those into a local repository
 Given resources are limited, it is not possible to
download all pages
 Web Crawl Scheduling:
 What pages should be downloaded first?
 When a page should be updated?

I am currently involved with the generation of useful movie
recommendations for users. In my research, I investigate a bayesian
probabilistical framework that takes into account:
The fact that, in a recommended movie list, the utility of movies
interfere with one another;
l
the fact that a recommended movie list should maximize the
probability of having at least one item that is actually selected
by an user;
l
the fact that the recommended movie list should cover, as much
as possible, all different hues present in a particular user tastes.

I am currently mining ratings patterns at the MovieLens datasets

Title: Granular Neural Networks for Pattern
Recognition and Granular Mining
Classification and clustering of real life data sets, including
microarray gene expression data, based on the proposed
granular neural networks.
 A new fuzzy rough entropy measure for validating the
clustering solutions is proposed by comparing the existing
measures, Beta –index and DB-index.
Future Work:
- Proposing a new granular neural network for
selecting salient features of real-life data sets.

Problem
Wide variety of information systems aimed at cataloging phenotypic
descriptions of living beings, which adopt heterogeneous models,
hampering data integration.
Goal
To Integrate phenotype-related heterogeneous models via alignment
of their metamodels.
Contributions
•Semi-automatic approach to connect free text phenotypic
descriptions to equivalent ontology-based descriptions;
•Automated integration of the large volume of existing phenotypic
descriptions.
