I am now working in Facebook as a Research Scientist, focusing on social
ad-targeting and optimization.
Drop me a note if you are interested in joining Facebook!
(http://www.facebook.com/careers/)
I worked in IBM TJ Watson Research center as a Research Staff Member from 11/2006
to 11/2009.
My previous project is IBM Multimedia Analysis and Retrieval (iMARS) (demo), which won the 2004 Wall
Street Journal Innovation Award (Multimedia category).
I’ve got my PhD degree from Language
Technologies Institute, School of
Computer Science of Carnegie Mellon
University in Oct. 2006.
Research interests: large-scale data mining, ad optimization, machine learning,
multimedia information retrieval, video content analysis and computer vision
Dissertation: abstract (.txt),
summary (.ps, .pdf), full thesis (.ps, .pdf)
I am recently interested in developing large-scale / efficient machine
learning, information retrieval and media analysis algorithms / systems for
massive data collections.
I’ve also been working on multiple analytic platforms, e.g., Hadoop, IBM
Infosphere-Stream, UIMA
