I am a fifth year Ph.D. student in the Text Information Management (TIMan)
Group, which is part of the Database and
Information Systems (DAIS) Lab at UIUC. I work with Prof. ChengXiang
Zhai.
Prior to coming to UIUC, I studied at Stanford University, and obtained a B.S. degree in 2002 and an M.S. degree in 2003, both in Computer Science.
Short Bio
Research Interests
My research interests center on text information management, and
include natural language processing, information retrieval, machine
learning, and bioinformatics. The goal of my research is to develop
general and effective techniques for understanding natural language
and extracting useful information from natural language text, as well
as to apply these techniques to critical information management
problems. Currently, my main research topic is to develop learning
methods for adapting statistical classifiers trained on some
“old” domains to “new” domains where labeled
data is very little or not available. The need for studying this
domain adaptation problem is prevalent in text information management,
e.g. adapting a named entity recognizer from news articles to personal
blogs, customizing spam filters for each individual's mail box,
etc. Besides domain adaptation, I am also interested in information
extraction, including entity recognition and relation extraction,
particularly for biomedical literature mining.
