Working Experiences
  • Postdoctoral Researcher (Dec 2008 - Sep 2010), The Pennsylvania State University (advised by Dr. C. Lee Giles and Dr. Prasenjit Mitra)
  • Ph.D. (Jan 2005 - Aug 2008), Nanyang Technological University (advised by Dr. Chang Kuiyu and Dr. Ee-Peng Lim)
  • Research Intern (Aug 2007 - Feb 2008), Microsoft Research Asia (advised by Dr. Daxin Jiang and Dr. Hang Li)



    Research Interests
  • Creating and designing machine learning and text/data mining techniques for real emerging problems in Web Search, Information Retrieval, Information Extraction and Social Networks.

  • Currently, I am studying citation contexts in research papers with the goal of recommending citations for new manuscripts working in the CiteSeerX project, collaborating very closely with Dr. Jian Pei and Dr. Daniel Kifer. A Citation Recommendation Demo can be found online. The talk slides of citation recommedantion is available now.

  • I am also interested in large scaled social network analysis and real time search. I am working with Dr. Qiankun Zhao, Dr. Jianshu Weng and Miss Yuan Tian on these problems. However, recently many kinds of bubble-based methods can be found in this area. Can we achieve beyond them?

  • Past collaborators include Dr. Arindam Banerjee, Dr. Steven Chu-Hong HOI, Dr. Hao Wang, Dr. Jun Zhang.

  • The progress of citation recommendation prototype in CiteSeerX.
