DATA Lab
Research Interests
We are interested in developing data mining and machine learning algorithms with theoretical properties to better discover actionable patterns from large-scale, networked, dynamic and sparse data. Our research is directly motivated by, and contributes to, applications in social informatics, health informatics and information security. Our work has been featured in
Various News Media, such as
ACM TechNews,
New Scientist,
Defense One,
Economic Times. Here is my
Google Scholar. Specifically, we are interested in the following topics:
- Automated Machine Learning
- Explainable Artificial Intelligence
- Network Analytics
- Health Data Science
- Anomaly Detection
