Research Areas & Highlights
The Polo Club of Data Science is my research group.
We innovate at the intersection of data mining and human-computer interaction (HCI) to synthesize scalable, interactive, and interpretable tools that amplify human’s ability to understand and interact with billion-scale data and machine learning models.
Our current research thrusts:
human-centered AI (interpretable, fair, safe AI; adversarial ML);
large graph visualization and mining;
cybersecurity; and
social good (health, energy).
Notable projects:
Comprehensive survey on visual analytics for deep learning (TVCG; presented at VAST'18) --- highly recommended for practitioners and new researchers.
GAN Lab: interactive visualization for playing with GAN, joint work with Google AI (VAST'18).
Excited to announce GAN Lab! Interactive visualization to learn #GAN by @GoogleAI @gtcomputing, powered by @TensorFlow.js! Try in your browser https://t.co/reY9x5JrvD

SHIELD: fast, practical defense for deep learning (KDD'18).
Visage:
interactive visual graph querying, without writing complex code (see Visage in action); won SIGMOD'17 best demo, honorable mention. Vigor summarizes query results (VAST'17).
Firebird:
award-winning (KDD'16), open-source project, helping Atlanta Fire Rescue Department predict fire risk and prioritize fire inspections.
Polonium and Aesop: malware detection using machine learning, over massive graph with 37 billion machine-file relationships; protects 120 million Symantec machines worldwide; both patented and deployed.
Apolo and Facets: mixed-initiative system (ML+vis) for making sense of large network data (watch a demo), by helping users incrementally find relevant and interestingly surprising subgraphs to explore, avoids overwhelming them.
Marco and NetProbe: award-winning fake review detection (SDM'14) and auction fraud detection (eBay) that fingers bad guys by identifying their suspicious transactions (appeared in Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and more
