News
- Sep/11/09 DBSiminar Fall 2009 with Scalable Data Analytics theme was kicked-off! – I am playing the host!
- Sep/09/09 Our Declarative Information Extraction paper got accepted to ICDE2010 as a short paper!
- Aug/28/09 I received 2009 Stonebraker/Wong Fellowship, which “recognizes outstanding students conducting database research, or research in successor fields in information science”!
- June/27/09 I am at SIGMOD 2009 Providence. I am giving a talk at WebDB – hope to see you there!
- May/09/09 I gave several talks at Berkeley and Stanford to both DB and ML community about BayesStore! – Got some enthusiastic feedback from the Berkeley ML community!
- Mar/06/09 I started a blog Data+Model+View dedicated to Systems, Algorithms and Visualizations for Scalable Data Analytics using SML! – It’s about time!

A Parable of Modern Research
Bob has lost his keys in a room which is dark except for one brightly lit corner.
“Why are you looking under the light, you lost them in the dark!”
“I can only see here.”
