Research groups at synchrotron facilities have recently showed interest in the software we are developing. In collaboration with two groups at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste and groups form ESRF, Grenoble and Soleil, Trieste, we started adding new components for these purposes. So far, we have published a whitepaper at the most influential conference in the field, obtained funding for a postdoc student who is developing these methods further, and a bilateral project FR-SI, Proteus.
F.06 Development of a new product
COBISS.SI-ID: 1536058307In 2014, we organized a workshop at the Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, TX) for their graduate students on the topic of the use of advanced techniques for genetic data analysis. The event was very successful, so we are decided to extend these events in a more regular form. In 2015 and 2016, two member of the project team (Dr. Zupan and Dr. Demsar) taught a course on data mining for graduate students at Baylor College of Medicine.
B.05 Guest lecturer at an institute/university
COBISS.SI-ID: 1536234691We have extended Orange to handle data of extreme sizes, such as tens of terabytes. This work was done primarily in collaboration with 2nd Quadrant (UK), one of the greatest contributors to the open source database PostgreSQL, with whom we changed the way Orange handles data base queries and developed PostgreSQL functionality for queries on samples. We have also began development of function required for use of Orange for analysis of high-dimensional data coming from particle accelerators like those in Soleil (Paris) and Elettra (Trieste).
F.07 Improvements to an existing product
In 2014, the PI of the project received an award for his current research work at the international conference Information Society in organization of the Jožef Stefan Institute.
