Dunja Mladenic is a researcher at the Jožef Stefan Institute's Department of Knowledge Technologies in Ljubljana, Slovenia. She has held visiting positions at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science in 1996-1997 and 2000-2001, where she worked on text and data mining projects.

• Coordinator of the European project Sol-Eu-Net (2005)
• Tutorial chair for ECML/PKDD-2005 and ICML-2003
• Key contributor to CMU's Text Learning Group

Her research focuses on Text Mining, Data Mining, and Machine Learning, particularly in Web navigation assistance and intelligent agent design. She developed the Text Mining Group's Personal WebWatcher system that uses machine learning to highlight interesting hyperlinks based on user behavior.

Her publication trends show a strong emphasis on text learning and intelligent agent design, with technical reports and conference papers exploring feature selection, classifier comparison (kNN vs Naive Bayes), and document representation techniques for web browsing assistance.

She maintains dual email contact through CMU and Jožef Stefan Institute. Her work spans multiple disciplines including biomedical data analysis, discrete event simulation, and encyclopedia typesetting using TeX.
