General Information

My main area of research is computational learning theory and the related areas in probability theory, information theory, statistics and pattern recognition. I work on applications of machine learning algorithms in bio-informatics, computer vision, network routing and high-performance computing.

I am in the process of creating a new home page

TWiki Page

If I invited you to join my TWiki page, please start by by filling in this form. You will be asked for an ID+password, please use id=TWikiGuest and password=guest. Fill in all the entries in the form that have red stars next to them. Please use the default TWikiName that is assigned to you based on your name (mine is YoavFreund). Also, please remember the password you chose!
To start browsing you can go to the main TWiki page .
You need permission to access and edit most of the subject web pages. To get permission please contact Eugene Ie tie AT cs.ucsd.edu or William Beaver wbeaver AT cs.ucsd.edu.

Solutions for common problems

If you have forgotten your password, please go to Reset Password Form . After you fill it in with your existing TWikiName and a new password, you'll get web page with a line you should email to me. To get into the page, use id=TWikiGuest and password=guest.
If you are getting a "Permission Denied" message from a page that you are used to be able to enter, the reason might be that you are not correctly identified, please go to the main TWiki page and see TWiki correctly identifies you at the top of the page, if the name is wrong (probably "TWikiGuest") then click on the "login" link on the second line to sign in with your correct name and password.
