Research

You can find my Google Scholar profile here. My current research interests as follows:

  • User modeling on the Web (e.g., social media or MOOC platforms) to understand user behavior and characteristics (e.g., mining user interests)
  • Semantics-Aware Recommender Systems with Knowledge Graphs
  • Applied Deep Learning for Text Mining, Recommender Systems
  • Mining open Knowedge Grpah/Base such as Wikipedia, DBpedia, and Wikidata
  • Data science challenges (e.g., CIKM Analyticup and Semantic Web Challenges)
