Machine Learning and Data Intensive Computing (Mining)

The Mining Lab aims to build statistical models to tackle hard learning problems with limited labels in knowledge-rich domain (e.g., medicine and bioinformatics).

Two central research themes: 
- Developing interpretable machine learning models that analyze large-scale multimodal dynamic data with limited supervised information 
- Keeping humans in the loop for interactive and continuous model improvement.
