Database, Data Mining, Text Mining, Information Retrieval
My current research:
·
Mining forums (including Community Question Answering)
and social network
o Extracting Question
Answer pairs from forums to enrich the knowledge base of CQA services (related
papers: SIGIR08, ACL08 )
o Routing questions to
expert users (related paper: ICDE09)
o The use of
categorization information to improve question search (related paper: CIKM09)
o Computing link-based
similarity (related paper: ICDM09)
·
Integrating information retrieval and database
systems
o
Efficient processing of spatial keyword queries (related paper: VLDB09)
My past research interests include classifying gene expression
data, mining frequent patterns, XML, etc.
