In FIS Dean's Award for 2023 publications, KIZI_VSE folks got two 1st places, two 2nd places and one 3rd place in individual categories (journal articles, conf papers and PhD theses), this year standing out among the 9 departments of FIS. Big congrats!🥳 fis.vse.cz/wp-content/upl…

Happy to share that the research spearhead of @KIZI_FIS, the Data Science & Explainable AI (DSXAI) team kizi.vse.cz/dsxai, was approved and announced as one of the 12 university-wide "teams of excellence", researching on focus areas of VŠE v Praze. #datascience #explainableAI

We're happy about our hellhound.vse.cz team joining the "ANDET" project funded by OP TAK. This initiative leverages ML to secure non-standard information systems and enhances our university's standing in AI & Cyber research. Led by VISITECH, partners are VŠE and ELEBRO CZ.

Two new members joined the PhD team of KIZI_VSE in Sep 24. Barbara Moreová will research on #bias in #MachineLearning under supervision of Dr. Kliegr (Tomas Kliegr), and Alžbeta Gburíková on #DataMining from #MarketResearch data under supervision of Prof. Rauch and Dr.Máša. Welcome!

Big congrats to the whole SWOE (Semantic Web and Ontological Engineering) group and everyone else involved! 🥳

CFP for a special issue of Acta Informatica Pragensia (edited by David Chudán and myself). We welcome empirical, theoretical and opinion articles. We are interested not only in technological aspects, but especially in philosophical, ethical, social and business aspects.

Join us on Nov 6 for the Prague Ontology Engineering Meetup (POEM 2024)! Hosted by KIZI_VSE, featuring Prof. Nicola Guarino and talks from PhD students on ontologies & explainable AI. Details 👉 kizi.vse.cz/english/public… #POEM2024 #AI

Doc. Tomáš Kliegr (Tomas Kliegr) from @kizi_vse has been named a Fellow of AICzechia, a prestigious position recognizing top Czech AI researchers. The FIS VŠE v Praze team now has 4 representatives among around 60 Fellows in the country. More at: aiczechia.cz/fellows

A great time we had yesterday at the Prague Ontology Engineering Meetup #POEM2024 kizi.vse.cz/english/public… - with our brilliant keynote speaker Nicola Guarino on explanatory #conceptualmodels, and talks by PhD students KIZI_VSE #ontologyengineering #explainableAI

🗓️ Exciting news! This Friday, Nov 15th, at 10 AM, Dr. Martin Berger from the University of Sussex will present "Towards GPU-accelerated Automated Reasoning" at the KIZI_VSE scientific seminar (KEG). Join us live at FIS or via Zoom! Details: kizi.vse.cz/seminare-keg/ #AI #GPUs

We are thrilled to host Dr. Martin Berger at @kizi_vse! We enjoyed his insightful talk on GPU-accelerated Automated Reasoning and we’re exploring collaboration in GPU-acceleration for Machine Learning. #ML #GPUs

On November 19 Tomáš Tomas Kliegr of KIZI_VSE successfully presented a professorial lecture in front of the Scientific Council of VŠE v Praze, and following a nearly unanimous Council vote, is heading towards being promoted to Full Professor, most likely in June 2025. Big congratulations!

Congratulations to Ph.D. student Petr Hoza, supervized by prof. Berka, for winning 1st place at the 30th Annual FIS Ph.D. Students´ Day for his work "A Case Study on Evaluating Reasoning in Large Language Models"! fis.vse.cz/english/about/…

March 12-13, 2025, our KIZI_VSE team had the privilege of hosting the kick-off meeting of a new EU CHIST-ERA project, #ClimateSense. It is coordinated by Harith Alani and addresses #climate #misinformation surveillance using #AI and multidimensional #GIS. See research.open.ac.uk/news/climate-m….

Department members Vojtech Svatek and Ondřej Zamazal spoke to @vedavyzkum about the role of ontologies in supporting the circular economy in the context of the European Onto-DESIDE project. Read the interview 👉 vedavyzkum.cz/rozhovory-a-os… #ontology #OntoDESIDE #circulareconomy

In addition to the interview 🎙️ (see the previous post), professor Svátek Vojtech Svatek also joined the Horizons VSE podcast to discuss ontology engineering and the Onto-DESIDE project. The episode is in English — check it out! vedavyzkum.cz/podcasty/horiz…

A member of our department, Pavel Strnad, has been named Teacher of the Year for the Faculty of Informatics and Statistics! 👨‍🏫👏 Congratulations! FIS VŠE v Praze

The KIZI FIS team showcased their research on learning action rules at MLPrague! Ing. Sýkora & Prof. Tomas Kliegr presented an open-source Python package, action-rules, offering IF-THEN recommendations for actionable insights. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… github.com/lukassykora/ac…

On June 16, 2025, Tomáš Kliegr (Tomas Kliegr) along with 86 other candidates was appointed a full professor by president Petr Pavel. Big congratulations!
