My research
bridges Data Mining and
Human-Computer Interaction to synthesize
systems and
tools that help
people understand and interact with
Big Data. My thesis focuses on
massive networks with
billions of nodes and
edges.
Apolo
Polonium
I blend techniques from
machine learning (Belief Propagation),
data mining (anomaly detection),
visualization
and
user interaction. Notable projects:
mixed-initiative system (ML+vis) for making sense of large network data (watch a demo);
Apolo helps users incrementally find relevant subgraphs to explore, avoids overwhelming the
user
malware detection using machine learning, over massive graph with
37 billion machine-file
relationships; protects 120 million Symantec machines worldwide; patented.
