Self-introduction
My research covers a broad field in applied machine learning ranging from classification, natural language processing, clustering/outlier detection and uncertainty quantification in various domains (e.g. text, medical and security). My current research interests are especially in Text/Numerical Data Analysis, Model Selection, Bayesian Inference and Bayesian Statistics in general.
