Research Interests        
My research focus on statistical learning and its application to information management. There are two main obstacles that prevent users from effectively accessing information: the language barrier when queries and documents are in different languages, and the media barrier when queries and documents are in different media formats. I am interested in designing and applying efficient machine learning algorithms to bridge these two barriers, with the emphasis on insufficient training data.
