Research

My research interests include machine learning and big data. I am currently working on data reduction techniques on big data.

We explore the machine learning concept of feature selection and investigate those technologies in the context of fraud detection. Various techniques developed from data mining and machine learning have been successfully applied for deriving new information in a variety of domains. Feature selection (or attribute selection) has become a vital pre-processing step in most data mining and machine learning problems. In addition to improving the quality of the machine learning data set, feature selection is particularly useful for highdimensional data. The aim of feature selection is to find a feature subset (i.e., data reduction) that can learn and describe the data set such that it is equivalent to the same task being done by the original data set (i.e., without any data reduction).
