  • Research Interests

    Knowledge-Based Systems

    A new trend in knowledge-based systems technology is that expertise transfer paradigms have been replaced in recent years by knowledge modelling paradigms. To this end we are interested in conceptual modelling processes and automatic knowledge acquisition methods for knowledge-based decision making models.

    Machine Learning

    Machine learning is the study of computer algorithms that improve automatically through experience. We currently are interested in several 'tough' topics such as learning imbalanced data, learning mixed and heterogeneous data, learning with kernels, etc.

    Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining

    This rapidly growing interdisciplinary field merges databases, statistics, machine learning and others in order to extract useful knowledge from data. We are mainly interested in text mining and scientific data mining. For the former, we are working on text-based scientific knowledge creation methods with focus on information extraction and emerging trend detection. For the latter, we are working on several mining problems in medicine, biology and materials science such as hepatitis study, protein-protein interactions, crystal structure determination, water properties in biological systems, etc.
