Hi!
I've finished my PhD studies in Computer Science Department, Technion, Haifa, Israel. My research thesis, named "Bayesian Networks: Model Selection and Applications" was conducted under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dan Geiger.
If you want to get some info about me, press here to view my resume and here you can get the list of my works, both software & papers.

Selected Works

Asymptotic Model Selection for Naive Bayesian Networks (ps, 34MB) with Dan Geiger. Accepted for publication to the Journal of Machine Learning Research . A shorter version was presented on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence-2002 conference. See presentation slides.
A Bayesian LOD Score for Linkage Analysis of Complex Diseases with Maayan Fishelson and Dan Geiger. Submitted to Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) 2004 conference.
Automated Analytic Asymptotic Evaluation of Marginal Likelihood for Latent Models with Dan Geiger. Presented on UAI-03 as a poster. This paper describes two projects in automated asymptotic evaluation of marginal likelihood:
- BN-dimension project. Evaluates effective dimensionality of arbitrary Bayesian network.
- Resolution project. Evaluates approximation to the marginal likelihood for "hard" types of log-likelihood function by resolution of singularities of set of maximum likelihood parameters.
On the Parameter Priors for Discrete DAG Models with Dan Geiger. Presented on AI and Statistics 2001 as a poster. Full proofs can be found in Technical Report CIS-2000-08 and the matlab code used in the paper is available here.
Decomposition of Event Sequences into Independent Components with Heikki Mannila. Presented on First SIAM Data Mining Conference. Long version is available.
Selective Sampling for Nearest Neighbor Classifiers with Michael Lindenbaum and Shaul Markovitch, published by Machine Learning Journal, February 2004, volume 54, issue 2, pages 125-152. A shorter version was presented on AAAI-99.
