I am working on knowledge discovery problems in the fields of scientific data mining, bioinformatics, and web mining. Through this effort I am also trying to solve some of the more fundamental machine learning problems such as efficient knowledge discovery from large scale heterogeneous, biased, distributed, and incrementing databases.
Current Research Projects:
- Memory-Constrained Data Mining (funded by NSF)
- Data Mining Support for Retrieval and Analysis of Geophysical Parameters (funded by NSF)
- Bioinformatics - Microarray Data Analysis, Analysis of Protein Disorder, Proteomics, Biomedical Text Mining (funded by Pennsylvania Department of Health, NIH)
- Bioinformatics Core Facility
Recent Highlights:
- Received the CAREER award from National Science Foundation in 2006: 0546155 "CAREER: Memory-Constrained Predictive Data Mining"
- Member of a team (ISTZORAN: K Peng, S Vucetic, Z Obradovic from Temple University and P. Radivojac and A.K. Dunker from Indiana University) that had the most accurate predictor of protein disorder at CASP6, 2004 (see the report) and CASP7, 2006 (see the report).
- Organizing an invited session "Proteomic Data Analysis" at Interface 2007.
- Bencella Wisner, received the second prize in the Mathematics and Computer Sciences Category at the 10th Annual Philadelphia Alliance for Minority Participation (AMP) Research Symposium for her work "Analysis and Prediction of Traffic Volume in Large Transportation Systems" under the supervision of Prof. Vucetic.
