He is the holder of a VIDI grant from the NWO, on the subject of "Annotated Graph Mining". The goal of this project is to develop representations and algorithms for mining graphs were nodes and edges in the graph may have complex annotations. Besides graph mining, Hendrik Blockeel's research interests include theory and algorithms for machine learning and data mining in general, with a particular focus on relational learning, probabilistic logics, inductive knowledge bases, and applications of these techniques in the broader field of computer science, bio-informatics, and medical informatics. read more...
