Research Interests: My group designs statistical machine learning algorithms, and studies their applications in domains as diverse as natural language processing, human computer interaction, cognitive psychology, and computer systems.

Publications [sort by year | topic ]

• Semi-Supervised Learning: book [link], recent papers [multi-manifolds, finite sample analysis, online SSL], tutorials [Chicago09, ICML07], literature survey [link]
• Machine Learning meets Human Learning: human active learning, human semi-supervised learning, monkey online learning.
• Natural Language Processing: wishful expressions, Text-to-Picture synthesis, learning bigrams from unigrams.
• Machine Learning for Computer Systems: LDA for statistical debugging, MRF for binary code analysis.
