Petr Knoth is Professor of Data Science at the Knowledge Media institute, The Open University. He leads the Big Scientific Data and Text Analytics Group (BSDTAG) which conducts research and develops new technologies powered by AI in the area of the machine processing of scientific information. He is the Founder and Head of CORE (core.ac.uk), a large not-for-profit full text indexing system for open access papers with millions of monthly active users. CORE makes research papers available for people to freely discover and access, and for machines to text-mine.
