Biography
My research interests include the following fields relating to Artificial Intelligence: Machine Learning and Inference Natural Language Processing Data, Text and Image Analysis Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Systems My overall research goal is to advance the theory and technology of machine learning and inference, for solving problems in processing and understanding the content of natural language and image data, which play a key role in artificial intelligence and data analytics applications. My current research program aims to develop statistical learning methods, especially those capable of capturing structural relations and prior knowledge, for enhancing semantic analysis of natural language text and images, such as semantic parsing, matching, modeling and disambiguation, and apply them to automated question answering, text analytics and image recognition in various knowledge-intensive educational, industrial and medical information systems.
