CISA Seminar: Vania Dimitrova Social environments, where people share resources or generate new content, provide means for knowledge construction and forming of collective intelligence. To fully realise the potential of social environments, it is crucial to provide intelligent support to turn busy social spaces into effective functioning places that add value to both individuals and collectives. This talk will present an approach for augmenting collective intelligence by exploiting knowledge models (domain ontologies). This includes extraction of a community model from log data and from user generated content, and utilising the model to gain deeper insights into the functioning of the community in order to inform personalisation and adaptation. Speaker bio: Dr Dimitrova (http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/vania/) is an Associate Professor in the School of Computing at the University of Leeds, and Co-Director of the Leeds Research Centre in Digital Learning. Her research is in user-aware intelligent systems, focusing on knowledge-enriched user modelling and adaptation, crowd-wisdom, interactive data exploration, knowledge capture and ontological modelling. She has led research activities in several projects developing user-aware intelligent systems to augment human intellect, involving interdisciplinary partnerships with researchers from Education, Business, Psychology, Engineering and end users from industries (e.g. Ordnance Survey, Rolls Royce, SNCF, various SMEs). She has chaired premier international conferences on user modelling and intelligent learning environments, and has served as a member of the editorial boards of major journals in these areas (IEEE TLT, UMIAI, IJAIED).
