Short Bio:
Yuan Luo is a PhD Candidate at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research interests include machine learning, natural language processing, time series analysis, computational genomics and big data analytics, with a focus on medical and clinical applications. One of his current research projects is on tensor modeling of narrative text, time series and the Omic data. He proposed a framework for building clinical models that improves both accuracy and interpretability, by turning text and time series into graph representation and applying tensor factorization to mining graph features. This work was awarded the first prize at NLP Doctoral Consortium in 2013 Annual Symposium of American Medical Informatics Association. He is also interested in understanding the relationship among the federal funding, the topic evolvement in biomedical literature, and the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals corporate development.
