I am an assistant professor at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty for computer and information science, Laboratory for Data Technologies. I interested into databases, natural language processing, semantic Web, information retrieval and information extraction.

I am also teaching courses of natural language processing, web information extraction and retrieval, database design and management and information systems and modeling. I also work on projects in the fields of Internet of Things (EkoSMART), information extraction (Ministry of Public Administration), text search in NoSQL databases (Iskratel), data warehouse design for large real-time streams processing (DRI) and digitalization of a company processes for optimization and assets numbering and tracking (Kolektor d.o.o.). Internationally I actively cooperate with the Universit ́e Paris 1, Sorbonne, the School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, College of Education, University of South Florida and Harvard University

Once you have a truly massive amount of information integrated as knowledge, then the human-software system will be superhuman, in the same sense that mankind with writing (or language itself) is superhuman compared to mankind before writing (or language itself). We look back on pre-linguistic cavemen and think 'they weren't quite human, were they?' In much the same way, our descendants will look back on pre-AI homo sapiens with exactly that mixture of otherness and pity.
