- [00:00:01.810]In data mining, we are looking for interesting patterns.
- [00:00:06.410]A particular set of data that I got interested in
- [00:00:11.010]are genome datasets.
- [00:00:13.350]Those genes which are associated with pancreatic cancer.
- [00:00:18.370]This is very important for early diagnosis
- [00:00:22.210]and treatment of patients.
- [00:00:26.110]In the past five years, I have worked on new datasets
- [00:00:30.500]which are linguistic datasets.
- [00:00:33.520]Decipherment of ancient scripts
- [00:00:36.010]is a very difficult task.
- [00:00:39.330]This cannot be done manually.
- [00:00:43.220]But in a computer we can do it.
- [00:00:46.800]This research benefits people who are interested
- [00:00:49.450]in ancient history, ancient languages.
- [00:00:52.720]In fact, we have a plan to provide all of these translations
- [00:00:58.040]and words in a nice database
- [00:01:01.900]available for scholars in the humanities.
- [00:01:05.840]You feel like an archeologist
- [00:01:07.840]mixed with a computer scientist.
- [00:01:09.680]You get to be your little Indiana Jones.
- [00:01:13.170]Dr. Revesz is extremely open
- [00:01:16.160]to all new ideas
- [00:01:17.520]and he provides excellent guidance
- [00:01:19.640]on what needs to be done.
- [00:01:21.780]Databases and data mining
- [00:01:24.136]are useful everywhere.
- [00:01:27.430]So bring me a challenging data
- [00:01:30.000]and a good question about it
- [00:01:32.390]and I'm very glad to work with you.
