I am a PhD candidate in Bren School of Information & Computer Sciences at UCI. I work with Prof. Lopes, and Prof. Baldi. My current research is about assesing information credibility in Web 2.0 applications, especially for search purposes.
My resume in PDF can be found here (updated Oct. 2009).Research Interests
My main research interests are Web Mining,
Information Retrieval,
Crowdsourcing Systems (specially
Wikis)
and Trust/Reputation Management Systems.

WTMS: Wikipedia Trust Management System
WTMS is a Trust Management Tool for Wikis. Its goal is to locate high-quality content in wiki pages using several parameters such as reputation of content contributors. User reputation is estimated according to users' editing behavior patterns in the past.
