Research

My research interests focus on data/text mining and machine learning techniques for knowledge discovery. Specifically, my research has covered several applications areas of knowledge discovery, such as bioinformatics, security, business, science and engineering literature. I have been investigating the analysis and modeling of data and information of different types in these areas, including structured data (e.g., numeric data and relational data from databases) and unstructured data (e.g., literature articles and online messages). Methodological foundation for my research is from several disciplines including machine learning, statistics, and computational linguistics theory.
