Research Interests:
Research in my group deals with various aspects of the Web and increasingly the social Web, or Web 2.0. This includes analyzing and modeling the diffusion of information in social media, and building better applications for Web search, recommendation, navigation, and annotation. We study crowdsourcing applications and their incentives, such as games and services with purpose, to leverage the wisdom of the crowds for social computing tasks. Finally we study collaborative and distributed approaches to make the social Web less susceptible to abuses such as spam and manipulation.
