FLEXIBLE RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS FOR BIG DATA (FRES)

Funded by the Greek National Programme «ΕΡΕΥΝΩ-ΔΗΜΙΟΥΡΓΩ-ΚΑΙΝΟΤΟΜΩ»

Implementing organisation: ArxNet

Scientific coordination: Ιntelligent Systems Laboratory, Department of Information and Electronic Engineering

Scientific Coordinator: Prof Konstantinos Diamantaras

Participating member of DABILab: Dr George Stalidis

Budget: 130.000 €
Duration: 7/2018 – 7/2021

Recommender Systems are a rapidly evolving field in the area of information extraction from data, offering solutions to important marketing and advertising problems e.g. finding new products that a customer will like, based on the preferences of other customers with similar characteristics, friends or members of a common group.

The project aims are in two categories, research and commercial. The research aims include industrial research in parallel and distributed implementation of a parametrizable recommender system which will cover the needs of enterprises with Big Data. Commercial aims include the development of a novel software package which will apply the results of industrial research, as well as the application, testing and promotion of the product

Intelligent platform for digital multichannel marketing with dynamic path learning and knowledge engineering  (TREELYTICS)

Funded by the Greek national programme “ΕΡΕΥΝΩ – ΔΗΜΙΟΥΡΓΩ – ΚΑΙΝΟΤΟΜΩ (ΕΣΠΑ)”

Implementing Organisation: MyCompany Projects

Scientific coordination: Systems, Networks and Security Research Laboratory, IHU.

Scientific coordinator: Prof Periklis Chatzimisios 

Vice scientific coordinator: Dr. George Stalidis

Duration: 2/2020 – 8/2022

This project aims to develop a sophisticated artificial intelligence unit that can be integrated into existing digital marketing, eCommerce, and customer relationship management (CRM) platforms, providing enhanced customer behavior forecasting capabilities and creation of personalized recommendations. Treelytics focuses on (a) learning the potential dynamic behavior of potential customers to achieve time-series predictions, enhancing forecasting accuracy and increasing performance in event marketing and next best action applications. (b) the integration of methods of machine learning and modeling of knowledge, so that it is possible to adapt to business policies and to integrate specialized research knowledge. The unit will be based on both reinforcing deep learning technologies, using predictive model analytics in real-time by using continuous machine learning methods, as well as on a complex knowledge model and a computerized inference engine and knowledge base using Linked Data technologies.
