Main interests

My focus is on the foundations and applications of Machine Learning and Data Mining. My research includes time series mining, music information retrieval, multimodal data, reduced neural models, and quantification.

Students

Yes, I do have many students. And, as my PhD co-supervisor Eamonn Keogh used to say, all my students are smarter than me. I like to highlight their names here because I do nothing without them.
