Research
profile
My research
work has two axes. The first deals with the development of novel methods and
algorithms in the domains of data mining (DM), and machine learning (ML). The
second concerns the use of these tools to solve real world problems in a
variety of domains with an emphasis to applications from biology and
bioinformatics.
Research in
KDD, DM and ML.
In the field
of knowledge discovery and data mining I have lately started to on the problem
of automatic composition of knowledge discovery workflows tailored to the
requirements of specific users and application problems using, among others,
web 2.0 tools. Other directions I have investigated include the development of
kernel- and metric-based learning algorithms for problems with complex
representational requirements, feature selection and the study of model
stability of feature selection and machine learning algorithms, the development
of similarity measures for learned models.
Applied
Research
The application
domain to which I have mostly focused over the last years is the biomedical
domain and namely the construction of predictive, diagnostic and prognostic
models for various pathologies, a significant part of the work concerned the
development of analytical tools for mass spectrometry data.
