Academic Specialization: Exploratory Data Analysis

Areas of Academic Interest:

Ontology-based data analysis. In data analysis an “ontology” can be defined as a formal description of domain knowledge (hierarchy of entities and relations between them). For example the ACM Computing Classification System (https://www.acm.org/publications/class-2012) or the  Universal Decimal Classification (http://www.udcc.org/) belong to the group of the best known ontologies. Ontologies can describe any aspect of social or economic life and activity. Their creation can be supported by popular software tools (for example: http://protege.stanford.edu/). Ontologies are very useful for proper interpretation of data and also play crucial role in similarity calculation and quality evaluation of objects. The scope of PhD thesis should cover the process of ontology creation or customization and its application in analysis of real-life data (for example cluster analysis or evaluation of objects’ quality). Also PhD thesis can be focused on ontology-based exploratory analysis of consumer opinions.
