Richard Jonker presents knowledge-anchored generation of synthetic data at ECIR 2026
Richard Jonker, PhD student at IEETA, was at ECIR 2026 presenting BioGraphletQA, a framework for systematically generating complex, factually-grounded Question Answering (QA) data. The core of this framework is a novel graphlet-anchored generation process, where small subgraphs from a Knowledge Graph are used as a factual base to control the complexity and ensure the grounding […]

Beyond the Lab: Genomic Data Infrastructure in Practice
Genomic research fundamentally requires three components. Researchers must be able to find relevant data, obtain lawful and ethical access to it, and perform computations close to where the data resides. The European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) addresses these needs by connecting national nodes, allowing researchers to locate datasets easily, request secure access, and run analyses […]

Beyond the Lab: Federated, Interpretable Trees That Don’t Leak Your Data
A privacy-aware framework for Random Forests & XGBoost in distributed settings, built for practitioners who need auditability, not black boxes. Most federated learning toolkits focus on deep nets and often overlook interpretability. If you work with regulated data (e.g. healthcare or finance), that’s a non-starter. This work delivers a federated, PySyft-based approach for tree models […]
