• Speech signal processing and recognition                      From where we stand, the rain seems random.
• Statistical language modeling              If we could stand somewhere else, we would see the order in it.
• Statistical learning algorithm                 - T. Hillerman (1990)  Coyote Waits, Harper-Collins, New York
• Information retrieval, data mining
• Multimedia and human-machine communications
• Network economics
