  3. TOP OF THE TOP LECTURERS • Can you imagine attending your dream class or watching your academic dream team? • Tim Berners Lee – W3C • Noam Chomsky – linguist, MIT • Umerto Eco – writer, “The name of the Rose” • Tom Mitchell – head of ML department, CMU • Barney Pell – Powerset.com • Bernard Roth – Design Institute, Stanford many more when/where/how you want

  4. PHILOSOPHICAL BACKGROUNDS Questions we are posing ourselves every day: 1. What is truly important today? 2. Why are we doing this? 3. Who is going to benefit from this? Our possible Answers: 1. Access to Knowledge / Visibility of research 2. Belief that Exchange Ideas/Share Knowledge is a win-win combination 3. Everyone who is eager for Knowledge

  5. ABOUT US • JSI, Knowledge Technologies Department • 800 researchers from IT, physics, chemistry, maths... • Center for knowledge transfer • 14 people actively works on Videolectures.Net • Research areas of the Department: • Data Mining, Machine Learning, Text Mining, Decision Support, Semantic Web, Language Technologies • Tools: DocumentAtlas, Text Garden, Search point, Ontogen

  6. ABOUT Videolectures.net • What is Videolectures.Net? Its an online video knowledge repository with scientific contents • Free, open, accessible for everyone No commercials, no author discrimination/all fields of Science • Aims and goals Cover all domains of Knowledge • Current status On a good way in doing that 
