synopsis: My principal research interests lie
in the development of machine learning and statistical methodology;
especially for building quantitative models and predictive
understandings of the evolutionary mechanism, regulatory circuitry, and
developmental processes of biological systems, and for problems
involving automated learning, reasoning, and decision-making in open,
evolving possible worlds. Currently the following major themes are studied in my group: 1) graphical models, Bayesian approaches, inference algorithms, and learning theories for analyzing and mining high-dimensional, longitudinal, and relational data; 2) computational and comparative genomic analysis of biological sequences, systems biology investigation of gene regulation, and statistical analysis of genetic variation, demography and linkage (to diseases); and 3) application of statistical learning in text/image mining, vision, and machine translation. Recent Adtivities: I will be teaching Machine Learning (10701) in Fall 2008. I gave a keynote talk on "Graphical models and algorithms for integrative bioinformatics at the 6th annual Graybill Conference. I co-organized ICML 2007 Workshop on Learning in Structured Output Spaces. I co-organized NIPS 2007 Workshop on Statistical Models of Networks. I gave a keynote talk on "Probabilistic graphical models --- theory, algorithm, and application" at ICMLA'07. |
