DESCRIPTION:By : Tova Milo - Tel Aviv University  \n\nVideo of her talk\n
 \nAbstract:\nModern data analysis combines general knowledge stored in dat
 abases with individual knowledge obtained from the crowd\, capturing peop
 le habits and preferences. To account for such mixed knowledge\, along w
 ith user interaction and optimization issues\, data management platforms 
 must employ a complex process of reasoning\, automatic crowd-task generat
 ion and result analysis. In this talk\, I will introduce the notion of cr
 owd mining and describe a generic architecture for crowd mining applicati
 ons. This architecture allows us to examine and compare the components of
  existing crowdsourcing systems and point out extensions required by crow
 d mining. It also highlights new research challenges and potential reuse 
 of existing techniques/components. I will exemplify this for the OASSIS p
 roject\, a system developed in Tel Aviv University\, and for other promin
 ent crowdsourcing frameworks.  \n\nBio :\nTova Milo received her Ph.D. de
 gree in Computer Science from the Hebrew University\, Jerusalem\, in 1992
 . After graduating she worked at the INRIA research institute in Paris an
 d at University of Toronto and returned to Israel in 1995\, joining the S
 chool of Computer Science at Tel Aviv university\, where she is now a full
  Professor. She is the head of the Database research group and holds the 
 Chair of Information Management. She served as the Head of the Computer S
 cience Department from 2011-2014. Her research focuses on advanced databa
 se applications such as data integration\, XML and semi-structured inform
 ation\, Data centered Business Processes and Crowd-sourcing\, studying bot
 h theoretical and practical aspects. Tova served as the Program Chair of 
 several international conferences\, including PODS\, VLDB\, ICDT\, XSym\,
  and WebDB\, and as a member of the VLDB Endowment and the ICDT executive
  board. She also served as the chair of the PODS Executive Committee and 
 an editor of TODS and the Logical Methods in Computer Science Journal. Tov
 a has received grants from the Israel Science Foundation\, the US-Israel 
 Binational Science Foundation\, the Israeli and French Ministry of Science
  and the European Union. She is an ACM Fellow\, a member of Academia Europ
 aea\, and a recipient of the 2010 ACM PODS Alberto O. Mendelzon Test-of-T
 ime Award and of the prestigious EU ERC Advanced Investigators grant.  \
