Summary
Goran Milovanović is a cognitive and data scientist with a PhD in Psychology who blends two decades of mathematical modeling and decision-theory expertise with hands-on AI leadership. As founder of DataKolektiv and former Chief AI Officer / Lead Data Scientist at Smartocto, he has led ML and MLOps teams to build predictive analytics and recommendation systems for digital media and supported large-scale work on Wikidata and Wikimedia projects. He has co-authored and edited multiple books, taught hundreds in statistics and data science, and regularly speaks on AI/ML topics as an industry leader in Serbia. Comfortable moving between R, Python, Spark and semantic technologies, he specializes in combining human expert knowledge with statistical models to make behavioral data actionable. A less obvious strength: his academic roots in categorization and causality give him a rare ability to design models that are both interpretable and decision-relevant.
