My research is focused on helping people become more effective and efficient. This research goal has two parts: making
intelligent user interfaces and building more efficient machine learning
algorithms to support the interface.

Int the field of building intelligent user interfaces, I have worked on

• Improving the resolution of LCDs with ClearType.
• Making digital music easier to use with audio fingerprinting and AutoDJ.
• Making personal photographs more browsable with AutoAlbum.
• Improving document search through text categorization.
• Enabling Chinese users to quickly enter text with handwriting recognition.

I have also helped to create improved machine learning algorithms, such as

• Fast training algorithms, probabilistic outputs, multi-class training, and on-line training for Support Vector Machines.
• Learning priors for Gaussian Process Regression
• Best practices for convolutional neural networks.
