Keywords: Machine learning, knowledge discovery, data mining, relational learning, causal discovery, social network analysis, computational social science

Posted on: Sunday, May 8th, 2011
Broad Research Area: AI / Machine Learning / Robotics / Vision, Databases / Information Retrieval / Data Mining, Social Computing / Social Informatics

Research Interests:

My research group focuses on developing representations and algorithms for learning causal models of complex systems of interacting components. These can be human communities (e.g., scientific communities, corporations, and government agencies), online social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter), peer production systems (Wikipedia, Stack Overflow), and complex computer systems (data centers, multiagent systems). We are developing radically new methods that assist human investigators in understanding the deep causal structure of these systems.
