LARC Seminar on Ontologies and Information Extraction
The Ontologies Group at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics by Fabian M. SUCHANEK Abstract About the speaker Fabian M. SUCHANEK is the leader of the Otto Hahn Research Group "Ontologies" at the Max-Planck Institute for Informatics in Germany. He obtained his PhD at the Max-Planck Institute for Informatics under the supervision of Gerhard Weikum. In his thesis, Fabian developed inter alia the YAGO-Ontology, one of the largest public ontologies. The thesis earned him a honorable mention of the SIGMOD dissertation award, and the original paper on YAGO has more than 700 citations. YAGO gave rise to the YAGO-NAGA project, on which more than a dozen researchers work on key questions of semantics. Fabian was also a postdoc at Microsoft Research in Silicon Valley (reporting to Rakesh Agrawal) and at INRIA Saclay/France (reporting to Serge Abiteboul). Fabian taught classes on the Semantic Web, Information Extraction and Knowledge Representation in Paris and in Senegal. He has published around 30 scientific articles, among others at ISWC, VLDB, SIGMOD, WWW, CIKM, ICDE, and SIGIR. SUSIE: Search Using Services and Information Extraction by Nicoleta PREDA Abstract About the speaker Nicoleta PREDA is an Associate Professor at the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (UVSQ). She obtained her Ph.D. in computer science from Université Paris-Sud in 2008 studying under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Serge Abiteboul and Dr. Ioana Manolescu and her B.Sc. from the Computer Science Department at the University "Politechnica of Bucarest" Romania in 2003. Before joining the UVSQ in 2010 she was a post-doctoral researcher in the database group led by Prof. Dr. Gerhard Weikum at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, Germany. Her research interests include answering querying using Web Services, distributed indexing and querying large repositories of semi-structured data in distributed settings. |
