Dr. Lise Getoor
getoor AT cs.umd.edu
AVW3217
http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/getoor/
Research Interests: My general research interests are in machine learning, reasoning under uncertainty, databases and artificial intelligence. Other topics of interest to me include: data integration, database query optimization and approximate query processing, entity resolution, information extraction, utility elicitation, planning under uncertainty, contraint-based reasoning, abstraction and problem reformulation. The theme of my research is building and using statistical models of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data to do useful things.
Dr. Indrajit Bhattacharya
indrajit AT cs.umd.edu
AVW 3228
http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/indrajit/
Research Interests: I work on probabilistic models and clustering algorithms for resolving uncertain references to real world entities using relationships. I also work on algorithms for resolving entities efficiently for query answering.
Mustafa Bilgic
mbilgic AT cs.umd.edu
AVW 3228
http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/mbilgic/
Research Interests: I am interested in learning in relational domains in general. In particular, I am interested in learning and inference in domains where some of the information (attribute & relation) is missing and costly.
Rezarta Islamaj
rezarta AT cs.umd.edu
AVW 3228
http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/rezarta/
Research Interests: I am interested in bioinformatics, machine learning and data mining. I am interested in modeling and generating domain-appropriate specific features that can be employed for accurate sequence prediction. I work on studying, understanding and modeling "splice-site prediction" on pre-mRNA sequences aiming for a higly-accurate "Gene-Finding" process.
Dr. Hyunmo Kang
kang AT cs.umd.edu
AVW 3211
Research Interests: My general interests are (but not limited to) Human Computer Interaction, Information Visualization, User Interface Design and Implementation Personal Information Management, and Information Retrieval.
Louis Licamele
licamele AT cs.umd.edu
AVW 3228
http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/licamele/
Research Interests: I am interested in Machine Learning, Data Mining and Bioinformatics, with a focus in mining high-throughput data using machine learning methods. Specific tasks that I have worked on include link prediction and classification, entity classification and resolution using relational data, and domain specific feature construction.
Galileo Mark S. Namata Jr.
namatag AT cs.umd.edu
AVW 3228
http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/namatag/main.html
Research Interests: My current research is in the identification of entities and social network properties from email archives. Specifically, I've been looking into identifying underlying hierarchies and roles from email traffic.
Vivek Sehgal
