Petr Knoth is a full professor 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.
In this capacity, Petr has been involved in numerous knowledge exchange cooperations with enterprises, funders and not-for-profit organisations, supporting a wide variety of use cases requiring scalable access to research content.
Petr has a deep interest in the use of AI to improve research workflows. He has been involved as a researcher and as a PI in over 25 European Commission, national and international funded research projects in the areas of NLP, AI, Open Science and Technology Enhanced Learning.
Previously, Petr worked as a Senior Data Scientist at Mendeley on information extraction and content recommendation for research.
