Deeper understanding of a modern computer science area (semantic technology); gaining the capacity to develop the area independently; ability to apply semantic technology to various domains (e.g. argi-food, energy efficiency, smart cities, sustainability, manufacturing).

This seminar will focus on conduction of independent research in the area of semantic technology. We will be creating new technology with ontologies and knowledge graphs, as well as combining semantic technology with other computer science developements (e.g. from machine learning, human computer interaction) and other disciplines. Also, we will be conceptualizing and prototyping new types of semantic technology applications.

The seminar will be also be used to faciliate the research work that is made in the context of Master, PhD theses and research projects.

Results of the work at the research seminar may be published as research papers. Examples of published research papers that were produced previously in similar settings at STI group / Anna Fensel 's courses, and have Master students as main authors are as follows:

State of the art review (literature, events); concept creation; ontology construction; prototyping; evaluation; discussion; paper writing; presentation.

Continuously during the semester.

Will be discussed at the seminar.

The participants should have an interest in semantic technology. Prior knowledge of semantic technology is helpful, but not obligatory.

Additional timeslots will be scheduled for the seminar, in agreement with participants.
