i'm currently a postdoc in the social dynamics group at yahoo! research new york. i received my ph.d. from columbia university's physics department,
studying applications of machine learning to image and network data. please see my
resume for more project and background
information.
this site serves several purposes, from presenting and organizing my current
research and
teaching
efforts to publishing code and tips
that i hope others will find useful. eventually i'd like to get some
mac/linux/unix resources and tutorials posted in an organized format so others
can benefit from the vast amount of time i've spent discovering things.
2008.09.25: we have posted the call for papers for the NIPS 2008 workshop on analyzing graphs
2008.06.24: "a bayesian approach to network modularity" available at physical review letters online
2008.07.04: received "best student presentation award" at mlg 2008 (mining and learning with graphs)
2008.06.19: "a bayesian approach to network modularity" accepted to physical review letters, to appear
2008.03.18: a scientific american article on my ph.d. advisor, chris wiggins; also a summary from ams
2008.03.14: coverage of analysis of the 2008 aps march meeting co-authorship network from nature blogs
i'd like to organize this a bit more, but here are my latest geek tips:
applescript awk bash c consumer css cu cvs debian emacs excel firefox flickr gcc gentoo gmail google grammar graphviz html idvd imagemagick iphone iphoto ipod irc itunes java javascript keynote latex lifehack linux macosx matlab mobile mysql network networking,linux perl php python quicktime razr rss rsync safari sed sge shell sms ssh test trac,mysql treo unix video windows word x11
2008.10.28 css: to modify an element style in a header, e.g. anchors in h1, use h1 a { ... }
2008.10.18 matlab: matlab stores sparse matrices in compressed column format, so loops over columns are much faster than over rows (loops over rows should be implemented as loops over columns of the transpose)
2008.10.17 iphone: to save some disk space, remove old iphone firmware from ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Update, but make sure to keep the latest restore
2008.10.16 shell: to use the tinyurl api, append the url to be tinyed to http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=
2008.10.14 shell: use exec bash in ~/.login to auto-run a bash shell when your default is csh or tcsh
for now, see all in the tips file. prettier format coming soon.
