European Community Projects:

   From 2000/03 she will be responsible and coordinates for the University of Torino the cInQ Project (consortium on knowledge discovery by Inductive Queries).
The project aims to develop the theory (database primitives), query languages and a prototype of inductive databases, databases that collect both raw data to be analyzed and patterns extracted from data. The project is under the Information Society Technologies Programme (in particular Future and Emerging Technologies arm) and the other partners are:

Politecnico di Milano, Italy (prof. Ceri);

the Nokia Research Center, Finland (prof. Mannila);

the Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat, Freiburg, Germany (prof. De Raedt);

Institut National des Sciences Appliquèes, Lyon, France ( prof. Boulicaut).

Projects funded by the Italian University and Scientific Research Ministry (MIUR-URST):

   In 1998/99 he has participated to the project INTERDATA. The project is a collaboration between 17 italian universities, and has the aim to define and develop methods for the extraction of knowledge from databases and WEB.

Projects funded by the National Research Council (CNR):

   In 2000/01 CNR accepted a reserch project proposed by me, which is restricted to young researchers, named Depvalues: a new method and new algorithms for extracting dependencies from data.

Other Projects:

   In 1996/97 she has participated to a research program between Politecnico di Torino and Telecom Italia Lab on the theme Extraction of association rules from databases in which she has developed an integrated system with the Oracle DBMS for the extraction of knowledge from relational databases.
