Research Interests
Inter-disciplinary research between data mining, software engineering and computer systems.- I have been working on statistical debugging and
automated program failure triage,
which diagnose program problems automatically.
- In the future, I plan to improve system reliability, performance, and manageability through data mining and statistical analysis of system data.
My advisor is Prof. Jiawei Han, and I also collaborate with Prof. Darko Marinov.
