| Thesis Work
My Master’s thesis is in distributed machine learning/data mining field. The corresponding research project is a multi-agent learning system. Cooperative agents employ different learning and mining techniques to discover knowledge in health care history data. They exchange partial results during the learning process and adjust learning behaviours according to the exchanged information so that the learning system can achieve better result.
Course Projects
Research Trends in Database Technology: Project title Human involvement in data mining, used relevance measures to affect the mining result according to human desires and implemented an association rules mining program to test it.
Biological Computation: Project title Evolution with introns and exons, hypothesized a new Genetic Programming approach with the introduction of introns and exons (thus being able to disable and enable part of the genotype) and got good results from the testing program.
Foundations of Multi-agent Systems, Midterm paper Master-slave cooperation concept of agents; project title Agent Rescue Team, cooperated with other students to develop an agent team in which 5 agents used different cooperation strategies to dig rubble and save survivors in the ARES simulation system.
Other Projects
Classification-based spam filtering: My undergraduate thesis, using assessment on both e-mail headers and contents to filter spam.
Classroom query system: Dynamically show courses information and vacant classrooms.
Intelligent information push system: Push useful information to the users according to their preferences implied by their reading activities.
WEBook: An e-business system based on IBM WebSphere, with novel goods-flow control design.
