Research Interests

Current: Yuntis: Collaborative Web Resource Categorization and Ranking Project A prototype is accessible at http://yuntis.ecsl.cs.sunysb.edu. Novel linkage-based page scoring and result ranking algorithms for the Web. Development and integration of advanced search engine services including object similarity and classification, efficient term- and category-specific document scoring, manipulation-proof yet democratic web page scoring algorithms, key concept recognition, mining for related concepts, automatic phrase extraction. Distributed collaborative information categorization and ranking on the Web. High-performance fault-tolerant distributed systems for large-scale data gathering, manipulation, mining, and querying. See Yuntis (Open GRiD) project research papers for more details. See also OpenGRiD Project Code Distribution. The Open GRiD project's pages provide a more verbose and less technical, but very outdated intuitions and description.

Other: Expressive typing systems. Object-oriented and functional programming and specification languages. Automated theorem proving. Rewriting techniques.
