About me

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.

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.
