Research interests My interests straddle data mining, machine learning and spatial data management. I also enjoy discussing philosophical issues related to data mining. My current emphasis is on problems such as:

• Anomaly detection in high dimensional space.
• Classification for imbalanced data.
• Learning in adversarial environments.
