My areas of research are Artificial Intelligence and Multimedia. My main interests are: logical foundation of the Semantic Web, intelligent multimedia technology, formal theories of intelligent agents, and their implementation, applied logics for decision support systems, and reasoning about actions.

I am interested in the philosophy of mind, too.

Current Projects

  • Re-SEARCH: Contextual Search for Scientific Research Data with the cooperation between Elsevier and Amsterdam Data Science
  • Tree Hole Action: developing the AI technology to detect suicide high-risk persons by scanning the messages in social media such as Weibo
  • Micro-Universe Action: investigates the knowledge services to explore the relationship between Gut Microbiota and Health
  • Recent Projects

  • COMMIT/Data2Semantics: Data2Semantics provides essential semantic infrastructure for bringing e-Science to the next level.
  • EURECA: The goal of the EU FP7 Large-Scale Integrating Project EURECA (Enabling information re-Use by linking clinical REsearch and Care) is to enable seamless, secure, scalable and consistent linkage of healthcare information residing in electronic health record (EHR) systems with information in clinical research information systems, such as clinical trials.

  • SRLORA: a proejct funded by NSFC (National Nature Science Foundation of China). The aim of the project SRLORA is to learn DL axioms in semantic data by using the methods of statistical relation learning.

  • CRION: a project investigates contrastive reasoning, the reasoning with contrasts which are expressed as contrary conjunctions like the word "but" in natural language.

    Previous Projects

  • PoliticalMashup: A project exploring and exploiting official publications and political documents.
