About Me

Smiley face

I'm a fifth year PhD student at Computer Science and Engineering Department, University of California, Riverside. My advisor is Dr. Eamonn Keogh. My CV is here. My email adress is yzhu015 [AT] ucr [DOT] edu.

My research interest is in various aspects of data mining, for both batch and streaming data:

News

Our paper "Matrix Profile VII: Time Series Chains: A New Primitive for Time Series Data Mining" received the Best Student Paper Award at ICDM 2017! The paper and slides can be obtained from our Matrix Profile research page .

Please check out our Matrix Profile reseach page !

My internship project in Summer 2016, the Microsoft Project Promonition is featured in an on-going Microsoft ad campaign!

Our paper "Matrix Profile II: Exploiting a Novel Algorithm and GPUs to break the one Hundred Million Barrier for Time Series Motifs and Joins" was selected as one of the best paper award candidates at ICDM 2016!
