Other Research Interests:

My research interests are in the area of Artificial Intelligence and, most specifically, Machine Learning and Data Mining. Here is a list of some of the main research projects I have been involved in, in recent years:

• Evaluation Methods for Machine Learning (funded by NSERC)
• Forthcoming book on the subject, with Dr. Mohak Shah.
• A visualization framework for classifier evaluation, with Drs. Rocio Alaiz-Rodriguez and Peter Tischer.
• A data generation framework for testing classifiers in a shifting environment, with Dr. Rocio Alaiz.
• Event Characterization for Radioxenon Monitoring (funded by Health Canada)
  • with Mr. Guichong Li and Drs. trevor Stocki and Kurt Ungar.
• Computer Virus Detection
• Network Event Correlation (funded by Defense Research & Development Canada (DRDC))
  • with Mr. Reuben Smith and Drs. Maxwell Dondo and Peter Mason.
• Learning from Imbalanced Data Sets (funded by NSERC)
  • with Mrs. Shaju Stephen, Benjamin Wang, Andrew Estabrook, Taeho Jo, R. Akbani and Dr. Stephen Kwek.
• Learning in the Absence of Negative Examples (funded by U.S. Navy, R & D)
  • with Drs. Catherine Myers, Mark Gluck and Stephen Hanson.
