In data mining, we are looking for interesting patterns.
A particular set of data that I got interested in
are genome datasets.
Those genes which are associated with pancreatic cancer.
This is very important for early diagnosis
and treatment of patients.
In the past five years, I have worked on new datasets
which are linguistic datasets.
Decipherment of ancient scripts
is a very difficult task.
This cannot be done manually.
But in a computer we can do it.
This research benefits people who are interested
in ancient history, ancient languages.
In fact, we have a plan to provide all of these translations
and words in a nice database
available for scholars in the humanities.
You feel like an archeologist
mixed with a computer scientist.
You get to be your little Indiana Jones.
Dr. Revesz is extremely open
to all new ideas
and he provides excellent guidance
on what needs to be done.
Databases and data mining
are useful everywhere.
So bring me a challenging data
and a good question about it
and I'm very glad to work with you.
