Research

My work focuses on the design and implementation of algorithms that optimize, explain (transparency), and improve existing Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. The following represents my areas of interest:

Card image cap
Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning

Neural network architectures, computer imaging and vision, multimodal architectures for joint representations, etc.

Card image cap
Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval, and Text Mining

Fake news detection, sentiment and emotion analysis, natural language generation, text classification, etc.

Card image cap
Data Engineering and Analytics

Distributed database systems, graph databases and algorithms, relational systems, etc.

I am always engaged and willing to sponsor student research in the aforementioned areas. If you are interested in participating in research and/or lab activities, feel free to schedule a time to visit with me and we can determine the best path forward.
