Research Interests:
I am a CS researcher in the Data Mining and Machine Learning group at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories. I work on techniques for automated classification, e.g. technology that learns to categorize documents into a topic hierarchy based on a small number of training examples given by humans, or to recognize computer systems that are likely to fail based on their past failures. Repeatedly I find that applying such technologies to real-world business problems often leads to fixable robustness issues & opportunities for substantial performance improvement. Hence, HP Labs is an excellent place for technology research as well as business impact.
