Fatemah Panahi PhD Student Computer Sciences Department University of Wisconsin-Madison

Note: This page was not recently updated.. I am planning an update soon.. Biography I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I obtained my B.S. and M.S. in Computer Sciences from University of Wisconsin-Madison. I passed my qualification exam in the area of Networking, and recently started my research in the area of Databases. You can find my resume here.

Research Interests I am specifically intersted in large scale (Big Data) applications of data mining and data extraction. I spent a great summer at Teradata working on a data mining project and also getting familiar with parallel databases. I obtained the "Teradata 12 Certified Professional" certificate by the end of my internship. I also worked with Professor Chris Re on the Hazy project. Specifically, I was a reasearch assistant for the recently released GeoDeepDive project (See demo here). In this work we try to extract scientific data/measurements burried in tens of thousands of Geology articles.

Projects/Internships GeoDeepDive Research assistant. Description: Extracting scientific data/measurements from tens of thousands of Geology articles. See demo here. Video Deduplication Using Markov Logic Networks Independent Study. Description: The project claim is that Video Deduplication rules and features can be easily "expressed" by non-experts and combined using a probablistic framework such as the Markov Logic Networks. Using a very simple Markov Logic Program (see MLN here) we can achieve over 90% accuracy and over 85% recall. See demo here. Internship at Teradata (Summer 2011) Data mining project.
