Research Interests:

I am working under Dr. Milos Hauskrecht on a Bioinformatics Project. We propose to learn knowledge model from text corpus and apply it in biomedical domain. So far we have applied the model in biomedical document retrieval. Beside this, I also worked in several other research areas:

  • Question Answering (Event-based Retrieval)
  • Machine Translation (Evalaution Metric)
  • Speech Recognition (Speaker Adaptive Recognition)
  • Database Indexing (High-dimensional indexing)
  • Image Processing (OCR/Logo detection)

 

Education:

 

Research Experience:

  • GALE, A Global Autonomous Language Exploitation System.
  • QUALIFER, A Question Answering System.
  • iDistance Joins, High-Dimensional Join algorithms.
  • iMinMax*, A High-Dimensional Indexing mechanism.

 

Work Experience:


Professional Experience:

  • 2009 - PC member, dg.o 2009 student research track
