Research Interests

My main research interests are in the broad areas of machine learning, data mining, information acquisition, and decision theory. Specifically, I am interested in active learning, active inference,interactive machine learning, statistical relational learning, collective classification, and probabilistic graphical models.

I am the founder and director of the machine learning laboratory @ IIT. More information about my research group and recent projects can be found at our laboratory website.
