Advanced Intelligence Software Lab

The Advanced Intelligence Sofware lab (or AIS lab for short) is located at Gyte building in Purdue University Northwest. The lab is focusing on public safety-related projects with doctoral, MS-level students, and undergradautes.

Research Interests

My research interests are in the area of robust deep/machine learning, text mining, data privacy and security, and information quality, and cloud computing. For all Publications, see Google Scholar and ResearchGate

Research Devices

The AIS lab has two GPU machines with 80 cores, 200 GB memory, 6 TB data storages.The lab is dedicated to anlzying audio datasets and image datasets with deep learning and statistical learning approaches.
