Background and Mission

The Intelligent Information Systems research group is an academic research group centered in the Department of Computer Science at Oregon State University. The research group is led by Assistant Professor Jon Herlocker, who came to Oregon State from the GroupLens Research Project at the University of Minnesota in 2000. The goal of the IIS Research Group is to explore and demonstrate innovative intelligent information systems that combat information overload in the information age. We seek to intergrate knowledge and expertise from the disciplines of human computer interaction, machine learning, information retrieval, and library/information science. We also focus on designing and building algorithms and systems that can have immediate broad effect. 

Projects

• TaskTracer - Next generation intelligent software for supporting knowledge work on the personal computer.
• SERF - System of Electronic Recommendation Filtering : Collaborative filtering meets search engines for Intranet or community search.
• CoFE - Collaborative Filtering Engine - open source Java-based collaborative filtering engine - high performance plus a nice framework to make algorithm research easy.

Additional Software Available For Download

TreeTranslator -- Java utility for converting files produced with Microsoft Research's WinMine Toolkit into a format readable by MSBNx. WinMine builds Bayesian networks with decision trees at each node; MSBNx requires conditional probability tables instead (and a few other modifications documented in the README).
