Invited Talk – AUGUR: Forecasting the Emergence of New Research Topics

by

On 30th Jul 2018, I have been invited from Dasha Herrmannova, former PhD student at the KMi, to give a talk at the “Machine Learning and Graph Mining for Big Scholarly Data” workshop organised for the Computational Data Analytics Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

In this talk, named “AUGUR: Forecasting the Emergence of New Research Topics“, I presented the last advances of my doctoral research, also published in a recent paper at JCDL 2018 (see here).

Slides

Here you can find the slides when I presented at JCDL 2018, as they were very similar to the ones I used for this talk.
