Our group includes PostDocs, PhD students, and student assistants, and is headed by Prof. Felix Naumann. If you are interested in joining our team, please contact Felix Naumann.

For bachelor students we offer German lectures on database systems in addition to paper- or project-oriented seminars. Within a one-year bachelor project, students finalize their studies in cooperation with external partners. For master students we offer courses on information integration, data profiling, and information retrieval enhanced by specialized seminars, master projects and we advise master theses.

Most of our research is conducted in the context of larger research projects, in collaboration across students, across groups, and across universities. We strive to make available most of our datasets and source code.

Please do not hesitate to reach out directly to us, if you cannot find a paper, slides, or other research artifacts.

SIGIR Workshop on Patent Text Mining and Semantic Technologies

Ralf Krestel (HPI) is organizing this year's Workshop on Patent Text Mining and Semantic Technologies (PatentSemTech) together with Hidir Aras (FIZ Karlsruhe, Germany), Linda Andersson (Artificial Re-searcher, Austria), Florina Piroi (Data Science Studio, RSA FG, Austria), Allan Hanbury (TU Wien, Austria), and Dean Alderucci (CMU, USA). It will be co-located with SIGIR.

PatentSemTech aims to establish a long-term collaboration and a two-way communication channel between the IP industry and academia from relevant fields such as natural-language processing (NLP), text and data mining (TDM) and semantic technologies (ST) in order to explore and transfer new knowledge, methods and technologies for the benefit of industrial applications as well as support research in applied sciences for the IP and neighbouring domains.

More details and the call for papers can be found on the workshop's website: http://www.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/patentsemtech/
