Kno.e.sis - Ohio Center of Excellence in Knowledge-enabled Computing Information

Kno.e.sis is a world-class research center that uses semantic, cognitive, and perceptual computing for gathering insights from physical/IoT, cyber/Web, social and enterprise (e.g., clinical) big data. We innovate and employ semantic web, machine learning, NLP/IR, data mining, network science and cloud computing techniques. Our highly interdisciplinary research impact health and clinical applications, biomedical and translational research, epidemiology, cognitive science, social good, policy, development, etc. Kno.e.sis is highly successful in its primary mission of exceptional student outcomes: they have exceptional publication and real-world impact (http://j.mp/kimpact), and our PhDs compete with their counterparts from top 10 schools for initial jobs in research universities, top industry research labs and highly competitive companies, while a few have been successful entrepreneurs. Kno.e.sis is exceptionally well funded, largely from highly competitive funds from NSF, NIH and DoD. We have around 60 funded researchers (BS/MS/PhD students, postdocs/scholars), a couple of SW engineers, and staff, along with ~15 faculty members. Our main cloud infrastructure has 864 CPUs, 17TB main, 18TB SSD and 435TB disk storage. A key reason for Kno.e.sis'​ success is its unique work culture involving teamwork to solve complex problems. Practically all our work involves real world challenges, real-world data, interdisciplinary collaborators, path-breaking research to solve the challenges, real-world deployments, real world use, and measurable real world impact. These are demonstrable in diverse forms such as policy impact (e.g., FDA advisory), operational real-time use of our tools to save lives during disasters, open source data and tools, and licensing/tech transfer and commercialization of our technology used to launch a local startup.
