Technologies, Jozef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia. He is also an associate professor at the 
Jozef Stefan International Postgraduate School. He has conducted research on a wide variety of topics 
within machine learning and data mining (including computational scientific discovery, computational 
learning theory, relational learning, inductive logic programming, relational data mining, relational 
reinforcement learning, constraint based data mining, inductive databases and inductive queries) and 
their applications (in environmental sciences, life sciences and natural language processing). He has 
also organized a range of scientific and educational events (conferences, workshops, seminars) on the 
above topics: he was program co-chair of ILP-97 and ILP-99, program chair of MRDM-02, 03, 04, and 05 
(KDD Workshop on Multi-Relational Data Mining), as well as program chair of three educational events 
(tutorial days/summerschools) on ILP/RDM. He was also program chair of ICML-99, invited speaker at 
ICML-02 and general chair of ICML-05 (The Twentysecond International Conference on Machine Learning).
He has co-authored/co-edited three books and five published proceedings, including the books "Inductive 
Logic Programming" and "Relational Data Mining".
