Jarek Gryz is a computer scientist,data analyst,author,and academic. He is a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and a member of the Cognitive Science Program in the Department of Philosophy at York University in Toronto,Canada. [1]
Gryz's research spans the field of data analysis,query optimization,artificial intelligence,and privacy in IT systems. [2] He authored the book Database Query Optimization with Soft Constraints and has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles, [3] He is the recipient of the Outstanding Contribution to Internationalization Award [4] and the IBM Faculty Award as well as a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). [5]
Gryz earned his MA degree in Philosophy from Warsaw University in 1989 and another MA degree in philosophy from the University of Maryland,College Park in 1992. He then shifted his subject of study and started a graduate program in the Department of Computer Science in 1993 and received a master's degree in computer science from the same institution in 1995. Subsequently,in 1996,he completed a brief internship at the Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park,followed by a Ph.D. in computer science in 1997 under the supervision of Jack Minker,from the University of Maryland,College Park. [6]
Following his Ph.D.,Gryz started his academic career as an Assistant Professor and became a professor at York University in Toronto. He has also held teaching appointments at Warsaw University in Poland,Reykjavik University in Iceland,and College of William and Marry in the United States In addition,he served as the Faculty Fellow of the IBM Centre of Advanced Studies in Canada from 1998 to 2013. He holds an appointment as a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and is a member of the Cognitive Science Program in the Department of Philosophy at York University in Toronto,Canada. [7]
Gryz's research has primarily focused on the field of database systems and has made contributions in various areas,including query optimization,data visualization,and data mining. Furthermore,he has explored the philosophical foundations of Artificial Intelligence. [8]
Gryz has worked primarily in the area of database query optimization. He proposed several techniques to improve query performance in relational databases using sampling,integrity constraints,views or a novel concept of soft constraints. Many of these algorithms have been implemented in the commercial version of DB2,IBM's relational database system. [9] He further extended this work into other types of databases such as object-oriented, [10] XML, [11] and graph. [12]
In the area of data mining,Gryz designed new algorithms for discovery of homogeneous regions in a binary matrix. [13] He also worked on improving existing methods of frequent itemset mining. [14] [15] Furthermore,he branched into research on data visualization,which serves as a crucial element of analysis of massive data sets.[17]. [16]
Gryz's early research in philosophy focused on ethics. He examined the distinction between deontic and aretaic terms in moral vocabulary and offered a new interpretation of Stoic ethics. [17] [18] His interest in philosophy led to interdisciplinary research into philosophical foundations of AI,privacy in IT systems,and ethical issues,such as bias and interpretability of algorithms.

Computer science is the study of computation,information,and automation. Computer science spans theoretical disciplines to applied disciplines. Though more often considered an academic discipline,computer science is closely related to computer programming.
Association rule learning is a rule-based machine learning method for discovering interesting relations between variables in large databases. It is intended to identify strong rules discovered in databases using some measures of interestingness. In any given transaction with a variety of items,association rules are meant to discover the rules that determine how or why certain items are connected.
In multi-objective optimization,the Pareto front is the set of all Pareto efficient solutions. The concept is widely used in engineering. It allows the designer to restrict attention to the set of efficient choices,and to make tradeoffs within this set,rather than considering the full range of every parameter.
Software visualization or software visualisation refers to the visualization of information of and related to software systems—either the architecture of its source code or metrics of their runtime behavior—and their development process by means of static,interactive or animated 2-D or 3-D visual representations of their structure,execution,behavior,and evolution.
This page describes mining for molecules. Since molecules may be represented by molecular graphs this is strongly related to graph mining and structured data mining. The main problem is how to represent molecules while discriminating the data instances. One way to do this is chemical similarity metrics,which has a long tradition in the field of cheminformatics.
Kalyanmoy Deb is an Indian computer scientist. Deb is the Herman E. &Ruth J. Koenig Endowed Chair Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computing Engineering at Michigan State University. Deb is also a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Michigan State University.
Roberto Battiti is an Italian computer scientist,Professor of computer science at the University of Trento,director of the LIONlab,and deputy director of the DISI Department and delegate for technology transfer.
ELKI is a data mining software framework developed for use in research and teaching. It was originally at the database systems research unit of Professor Hans-Peter Kriegel at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich,Germany,and now continued at the Technical University of Dortmund,Germany. It aims at allowing the development and evaluation of advanced data mining algorithms and their interaction with database index structures.
Active learning is a special case of machine learning in which a learning algorithm can interactively query a user to label new data points with the desired outputs. In statistics literature,it is sometimes also called optimal experimental design. The information source is also called teacher or oracle.
LIONsolver is an integrated software for data mining,business intelligence,analytics,and modeling and reactive business intelligence approach. A non-profit version is also available as LIONoso.
Massive Online Analysis (MOA) is a free open-source software project specific for data stream mining with concept drift. It is written in Java and developed at the University of Waikato,New Zealand.
Bing Liu is a Chinese-American professor of computer science who specializes in data mining,machine learning,and natural language processing. In 2002,he became a scholar at University of Illinois at Chicago. He holds a PhD from the University of Edinburgh (1988).
