Research Interests
My research interests are statistical machine learning (in particular supervised learning; support vector machines and kernel methods; deep learning), and its applications to pattern recognition, image processing, bioinformatics and natural language analysis. Major studies include improving the performances of support vector machines (SVMs) such as a fast learning method for low-rank kernel (applying second-order cone programming technique and its fast implementation), fast and effective learning method for large-scale multiclass support vector machine, investigating the best kernel for practical use, a method of tuning the parameter of Gaussian kernel. An efficient evolutionary model has been developed
for gene selection and classification for microarray data based on SVM-based criteria. New deep learning models are developed for image colorization problem. I also conduct research on detection and recognition of objects from their incomplete representation. Currently I am working to develop unbiased learning models for feature and sample imbalanced problems.
