Research Internships
Advanced Research and Modeling
Research Group
ADREM – What?
• Research group that deals with computational
aspects of data
– databases
– data mining
– Information retrieval
ADREM – Who?
DB/DM/IR
• Floris Geerts
• Bart Goethals
• Martin Theobald
Bioinf
• Kris Laukens
• Tim Van den Bulcke
+ Phd students and postdoctoral researchers
http://adrem.ua.ac.be/adrem
Internships – What?
• 2 research internships (15 credits each)
• Msc thesis (30 credits).
Goal: internships are an initiation to research and is in collaboration with
researchers in ADReM
• 15 credits is a lot = internship is time consuming!
• 1 credit = 15 hour work…
• Balance your course load and internship well.
• Internships are not necessarily related to your Msc thesis (but it can)
• In a Msc thesis your ability to independently do research plays an
important role.
Internships – Who?
• Everyone who follows the research option in the
database Msc program
Research
In an internship you need to:
1.Understand a specific problem
2.Implement an (existing) method for solving the
problem
3.Test and evaluate
4.Write a report
(Msc thesis: you have to solve the problem as well
by designing new methods…)
Internships in a company
• It is allowed to do a internship in a company
but you have to ask permission
• Also, you have to find the company yourself
and convince us that there is research
involved
• You can’t receive any money from the
company during your internship
Databases, data mining, information
retrieval
• These are not separate research domains
• The topics for internships that each of us will
present next are usually on the intersection of
these areas.
• Let’s see some example topics….

Structured Knowledge Queries
A big US city with two airports, one named after a World
War II hero, and one named after a World War II battle field?
Select Distinct ?c Where {
?c type City . ?c locatedIn USA .

• Use manually created templates for mapping sentence
patterns to structured queries.
• Works for factoid and list questions.
Mining Rules from RDF Knowledge Bases
Goal: Inductively learn (soft) rules: livesIn(x,y) :- bornIn(x,y)
R
Ground truth for livesIn (only partially known)
Knowledge base for livesIn (known positive examples)
Facts produced by the rule (only partially correct)

• Dynamic programming ILP algorithm
• Learning with constants and type constraints
Rule-based Reasoning
(Soft) Deduction Rules vs.
(Hard) Consistency Constraints
• People may live in more than one place
livesIn(x,y)  marriedTo(x,z)  livesIn(z,y)
[0.8]
livesIn(x,y)  hasChild(x,z)  livesIn(z,y)
[0.5]
• People are not born in different places/on different dates
bornIn(x,y)  bornIn(x,z)  y=z
• People are not married to more than one person
(at the same time, in most countries?)
marriedTo(x,y,t1)  marriedTo(x,z,t2)  y≠z
 disjoint(t1,t2)
