Bio/Research

I completed my Ph.D. at York University in 2008. Following that, I was at Shandong University, holding positions as an Associate Professor and Full Professor from 2009 to 2017, prior to my role at Laurier.

My research interests generally include machine learning, data analysis, deep learning, and recommender system, with an emphasis on designing new algorithms and models for managing and mining social and urban spatio-temporal data.

Recently, I am focusing on the following research directions:

- Data analytics and machine learning (e.g., deep learning and AI,
recommender and filtering systems, interpretability of deep models, Web
personalization)

- Understanding multi-modal content (e.g., natural language processing,
text mining, image processing)

- Efficient data processing (e.g., database systems, indexing and query
optimization)

- Applications (e.g., urban computing systems, social media)
