Personalized Multilingual Information Access
More than half of the world's population is proficient in at least two languages. In this project, we aim to analyze language preferences and behaviors of individual users accessing information, and to develop novel personalized multilingual search and recommender systems.
Adaptive Information Visualization
Information Visualization is one of the most powerful tools to overcome information overload. In this project, we aim to analyze how different people interact and synthesize information using different visualizations, and to develop more usable and personalized visualizations that are tailored to each individual user.
Misinformation
One of the most pressing issues in the Information Age is the creation and spread of misinformation. In this project, we aim to analyze the effect of different types of misinformation on different users, and develop systems that can detect and correct misinformation through personalized support.
