Bisociation Networks for Creative Information DiscoveryAbout BISON
BISON is a research project funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme. The goal of BISON is to explore the concept of bisociative discovery on the basis of graph-based data mining.

Title: Semantic Data Mining for Creative Knowledge Discovery
Abstract: A major challenge for next generation data mining systems is creative knowledge discovery from highly diverse and distributed data/knowledge sources [1]. This talk presents a recently developed approach to information fusion and creative knowledge discovery from semantically annotated knowledge sources, where ontology information is used as background knowledge for subgroup discovery [2]. Case studies from medicine and functional genomics are used to present the lessons learned in semantic subgroup discovery [2,3]. Current directions in creative knowledge discovery through bisociative data analysis, as investigated in the European FP7 project BISON, are also outlined [4,5].
