Research Interests
Dr. Ungar's research group develops scalable machine learning and text
mining methods, including clustering, feature selection, and
semi-supervised and multi-task learning for large bioinformatic and
web-based problems. Example projects include semi-supervised
methods for information extraction, multi-view learning for gene
expression and fMRI data, and use of document and link structure for
informing feature selection or transfer of knowledge between tasks.
