Research Description

My research interests include network analysis and optimization for social networks and communications networks, from the perspective of
graph theory, approximation algorithms, machine learning, and data mining. My research on social networks aims to address both theoretical
rigor and practical novelty. Previous research results received various awards in IEEE INFOCOM, GLOBECOM, ICME, PAKDD, ACM CHI, and
SIGGRAPH. For group analysis and optimization in social networks, we formulated new optimization and query processing problems, proved
the NP-hardness and inapproximability, designed new algorithms with approximation guarantees, implemented them in real platforms (such
as Facebook and Twitch), and transferred them to industry (such as Chunghwa Telecom for promotion with viral marketing in phone social
networks). For group therapy for social network mental disorders (SNMDs), we were the rst team that studied SNMDs with machine learning
and data mining techniques, aiming to actively identify SNMDs and support online intervention at an early stage. The research results were
invited and presented in MSRA Faculty Summit in the session of "AI and Psychology." For communication networks, we formulated new
optimization problems with practically important SDN constraints, proved the NP-hardness and inapproximability, designed new algorithms
with the tightest approximation ratios, implemented them in real platforms (HP SDN Switch and Floodlight SDN Controller), and transferred
them to industry (such as Inventec for SDN controller and EstiNet for SDN network planning package). For multimedia networks, we
optimized LTE-A resource allocations for virtual reality and multi-view videos. I served as the chair or co-chair in various committees of WWW,
IEEE GLOBECOM, MDM, IEEE COMSOC Asia Paci c Board, INFORMS, and senior PC in AAAI and IJCAI.
