Abstract
My research focuses on methods to analyze and mine large datasets as well as their practical realizations and applications. The key question of interest to me is: How can we effectively and efficiently distill useful information from large, complex, and potentially noisy datasets? To approach this question, we are developing systems for scalable data analysis and data mining, for working with incomplete and noisy data, for data-intensive optimization, as well as for extracting structured information from natural-language text. This article highlights some of my work in these areas.
