About Me
Currently working as a Research Programmer in the Information Integration Research Group at Information Sciences Institute, Los Angeles, CA. For the past 5 years, I have had the pleasure of working with Craig Knoblock, Pedro Szekely, and Sofus Macskassy. My main focus has been on developing web-applications that provide state-of-the-art solutions in the various domain such as information integration, semantic web, social media, data visualization, mashup construction, and geospatial data.

Karma: A Data Integration Tool

Karma is an information integration tool that enables users to quickly and easily integrate data from a variety of data sources including databases, spreadsheets, delimited text files, XML, JSON, KML and Web APIs. It provides an easy to use GUI to handle data retrieval, data cleaning and transformation, data visualization, semantic data integration, data modeling, and data publication.

TweetCollector and TwiRanker: Social Media Analytic Tools

TweetCollector toolkit provides capabilities for collecting historical/live tweets, user's network information (friends/followers) for a given set of Twitter users or hashtags. Various parameters are available for tuning to define levels of friends/followers to traverse for collecting information for a given user. It also provides an interactive system dashboard to monitor the data collection process.

InfoFuse: Geospatial Data Integration and Reasoning Framework

Available geospatial data sources include mapping services (GoogleMaps,YahooMaps, etc.), Web2.0 based collaborative projects (OpenStreetMaps and WikiMapia), traditional geospatial data sources (raster maps, KML vector layers, etc.) and non-traditional geospatial data sources (phonebooks and property-records). To fully exploit these diverse geospatial data sources, we developed an integrated approach to extraction and fusion of these sources within a unified framework. More details are present here.

EntityExplorer: Entity Relations Finder using Wikipedia Hierarchies

This web-application that allows a user to identify entities from a given text, and then visualize relationships between them by linking them through Wikipedia categories. It generates an interactive graph of relationships, where the user can increase the edge weights to view more specialized relationships.
