Research Interest

I have wide research interests, mainly including artificial intelligence, machine learning, data mining, pattern recognition, information retrieval, evolutionary computation and neural computation, among which machine learning and data mining are my core research areas. I am particularly interested in the problem of how to enable computers to deal with "ambiguity".

Currently I am interested in the following ML/DM topics:

For applications, I am mainly interested in the following areas:

I am also interested in:

Research is for fun. If something outside the list attracts me and I feel I can do something, the above list will grow; if something on the list does not attract me any more, the above list will shrink. In short, these are just my current interests.
