dear kitty, here's what a mouse can do while you're sleeping Jean Oh J e a n     O h


I am a Ph.D. student at Language Technologies Institute, School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University, and my advisor is professor Stephen F. Smith. My general research interests lie in the area of Artificial Intelligence, and my primary focus is on reasoning, learning, and scheduling in multi-agent environment.

Other stuff

"I use gmail and my id is damcci. Some people asked what it meant. Here's Damcci, the Brave, who once caught a snake, and who survived from the attack of a pit bull."

This is me in my old office with two windows. According to my architect friend in Chicago, windows (or Windows®?) decrease the efficiency at work in general. I think he's right about that.

Someday, I wish to visit here and here.

I'm thrilled to learn that these boys have been cheering for me since before I was even born.

Dissertation research

I proposed my thesis "A few good agents: multi-agent social learning towards factored correlated equilibria" in December 2007, and hope to complete it by Spring 2009.

Current Projects @CMU

CMRADAR CMRADAR | RADAR (2004 ~ present)

"Radar, Radar, what do you see? I see CALO looking at me."

CMRadar is a multi-agent scheduling system in which a scheduling agent learns its master user's scheduling preferences by observing a series of meeting scheduling episodes.

This framework has been extented to solve a highly constrained room finding problem under a crisis scenario in which CMRadar efficiently selects room options which minimizes the number of bumping (preemption) requests by learning room owners' willingness to give up a room upon a request.

 

Interdisciplinary collaboration: AI in urban planning (2006 ~ )

Jie-Eun Hwang In this project, we explore opportunities for applying AI techniques in urban design/planning problem domains. This project is a joint work with my friend and collaborator, Jie-Eun Hwang at Northeastern University in Boston. (We used to play in the same orchestra many years ago. She is a great timpanist, and I am a "not so great yet trying hard" violinist.)

Main Streets in Boston Finding Main Streets

As an illustrative example of using machine learning techniques in urban design problems we have developed an interactive design decision support system that can assist designers to identify a certain type of urban setting, a candidate Main Street, by utilizing active learning algorithms. A Main Street represents a commercial district in the center of a residential area that has potential for revitalization, and its selection criteria is based on complex architectural and socioeconomic features of its vicinity.

 

New Orleans before hurricane Katrina New Orleans after hurrican Katrina RAISE (Representativa Agents in Intelligent Survey Environment)

Recent catastrophic disasters such as hurricane Katrina have brought increasing concerns on disaster management and hazard mitigation. RAISE is an agent-based urban planning decision support system in aid of post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. In particular, we are interested in resolving the NIMBY (not in my back yard) dilemma raised in many urgent siting issues in post-disaster settings.
