Erstausstattung Juniorprofessur (October 2003; funded by BMBF).
In this project methods for content mining, especially, text and multimedia mining, and learning of user preferences are researched.

Cooperation project with MENTASYS GmbH (since July, 2002):
In the context of the cooperation project with MENTASYS GmbH and Institute for Decision Theory and Management Sciene, University of Karlsruhe, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Gaul we investigate recommender systems in e-commerce scenarii. Recent topics are the usage of product properties for computing recommendations as well as temporal phenomena as changing customer preferences and assortments under drift.

SemIPort (since July 2003; Institute for Applied Informatics and Formal Description Methods (AIFB), University of Karlsruhe, Prof. Dr. Rudi Studer):
In SemIPort we investigate and develop semantic technologies for building and managing internet portals. The affiliated project Fachinformationssystem Informatik (FIS-I) makes use of the SemIPort technologies for running the computer sciene bibiography portal io-port.
