Tables are an integral part of documents, reports and Web pages in many scientific and technical domains, compactly encoding important information that can be difficult to express in text. Table-like structures outside documents, such as spreadsheets, CSV files, log files and databases, are widely used to represent and share information. However, tables remain beyond the scope of regular text processing systems which often treat them like free text.

Lushan Han

Developing interfaces to enable casual, non-expert users to query complex structured data has been the subject of much research over the past forty years. We refer to them as as schema-free query interfaces, since they allow users to freely query data without understanding its schema, knowing how to refer to objects, or mastering the appropriate formal query language. Schema-free query interfaces address fundamental problems in natural la...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Reproducibility of computations and data provenance are very important goals to achieve in order to improve the quality of one's research.  Unfortunately, despite some efforts made in the past, it is still very hard to reproduce computational experiments with high degree of certainty.  The Big Data phenomenon in recent years makes this goal even harder to achieve.  In this work, we propose a tool that aids researchers to improve reproducibility of their experiments through automated keeping o...]]></description>

Today, MSC information, which is typically published either on the supplier’s web site or registered at an e-marketplace portal, has been shown to fall short of the interoperability and accuracy requirements. This issue can be addressed by annotating the MSC information using shared ontologies. However, ontology-based approach...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Mathematician Alan Turing proposed a simple test to answer the question 'Can machines think?' nearly 75 years ago. Today, the surprising abilities of generative AI systems like ChatGPT make many wonder if we can finally respond positively. Dr. Finin will briefly cover AI's history leading up to the recent development of systems using neural networks and large language models like ChatGPT and what to expect in the next few years. He'll touch on what current systems can and cannot do, the ways ...]]></description>

Context-aware systems exploit the use of situational information, or context, to provide relevant information and services to users. A great challenge remains in defining an architecture that supports context-aware systems. Critical research issues include modeling and reasoning (how to represent contextual information for machine processing and reasoning), knowledge sharing (how to enable agents to acquire consistent knowl...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Ph.D. Dissertation Defense
To address the difficult but important problem of modeling uncertainty in semantic web, this research has taken a probabilistic approach and developed a theoretical framework, named BayesOWL, that incorporates the Bayesian network (BN), a widely used graphic model for probabilistic interdependency, into the web ontology language OWL. This framework consists of three key components:

 a representation for encoding the probability distributions as OWL classes;
