Visiting Faculty
     

National Central University, Taiwan (2007-2008)
My research interests focus on Web information search, extraction, and integration, where the goal is make information on the Web easy to access, manage and integrate. I am specialized in Web data extraction which concerns unsupervised information extraction from Deep Web. In addition to Web, I also work on data mining problems like pattern discovery and data visualization.

My main research interests focus on Machine Learning, Data Mining and Probabilistic Models. Currently I am working on Information Extraction from the World Wide Web with Tom Mitchell.
 

 

Post Doc's
 
 
My main interests are in combining theoretical and applied aspects of machine learning and statistics, for example, by deriving theoretical guarantees for empirically successful methods and, conversely, by translating theoretical insights into practical applications. My previous applications include modeling species habitats, neuronal ensembles, and semantic relationships from small samples. Currently, I am working on decision making under uncertainty in the context of multi-agent learning and planning.
 


 
   
 


 
Visiting Researchers
     
   
   
     
     
   Tsinghua University, China (2007-2008)
My interests are in learning probabilistic graphical models and their application to statistical web data extraction. In my previous work, we have developed an integrated web data extraction framework for both structure mining and text content processing. I'm now working on learning hierarchical models from partially observed data.
