Introduction
The University of Maryland has created the Joint Institute for Knowledge
Discovery, which will be a part of UMIACS. Funded by a combination of
federal government and industrial affiliates, JIKD will serve as a center
of excellence, drawing together leading researchers in the development of
new and innovative approaches to finding relevant knowledge in large-scale
data stores and semi-structured, or unstructured, data and text repositories.
JIKD will explore both research and technology application opportunities
in a wide range of knowledge technologies including database research,
social network analysis, human language technology, semantic web applications,
human computer interaction, multimedia databases, and probabilistic
predictive reasoning.
