Research projects:

• LISp-Miner - an academic project for support research and teaching of knowledge discovery in databases. The core of this project are several GUHA procedures and observational calculi. The current research focus is on application of domain knowledge in data mining.
• SEWEBAR - a research project the goal of which is to study possibilities both of presenting results of data mining in the form of analytical reports and disseminating resulting analytical reports through Semantic web.
