Research Interests
My main research interest is on applying database, Web, and AI technologies to
data management problems, especially with regard to managing unstructured data.
Toward this goal, my research has focused on key problems such as information
extraction and data integration.
Additionally, I have been a key architect for
DBLife,
a prototype structured Web portal that extracts and integrates information
for the database research community.
