Machine Learning

I am interested in techniques of computational learning. The main subject I am working on is support vector machines (SVM) for pattern recognition/data classification. We are currently one of the major SVM software developers. Our software BSVM and LIBSVM have been used by thousands of users from many countries.

In addition, I also work on data mining and bioinformatics applications using support vector machines.

The major computational task behind support vector machines is to solve optimization problems. I am interested in large-scale numerical optimization and its applications. A nonlinear optimization software developed earlier is TRON.
