Research:
My research interests focus on data mining and machine learning. My thesis focuses on integrating partially labeled information in to classification, regression, ranking, and clustering. I am also working on Meta Clustering: a method to generate multiple informative clusterings of the same data set and how to present the clustering results to the end user.
Here is my CV.
