Short Bio:
Dr. Jung-Jin Yang is an assistant professor in the School of Computer Science and Information Engineering at the Catholic University of Korea. Currently, she is a head of the Division of Information System Engineering, and its research group is for Intelligent Distributed Information System - IDIS Lab. Her research group cooperates on regular basis with the company of 4HumanTech in Seoul Korea, that is a bio-informatics company. Her main research interests are in Intelligent Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent System, Information Retrieval, Machine Learning, Ontological Engineering and User Modeling. In particular, her research is more focused in both learning and building user models to understand users better and modeling and building autonomous interface agents to provide continuous and unobstructive assists to users. As relevant research, her dissertation is directly related to the automated induction of user models bridging theory and practice. The knowledge acquisition about users is achieved through individual human-computer interactions gathered from real data in order to predict and assess user behaviors. She's been involved in a research project developing a case-based planning and execution system that is designed to work under conditions of limited computational resources and an incomplete domain theory. Later, She's participated in a project with a research team working on large scale, multi-agent, and distributed mission planning and execution employing intelligent user interfaces, hybrid reasoning and mobile agent technology with Prof. Eugene Santos Jr. at the University of Connecticut supported by AFIT (Air Force Office for Scientific Research). As recent research of hers, the study of Semantic Web applicability in bio-informatics systems and the development of the agent system within the Semantic Web were directed in order to produce and exchange useful bio-medical information by dealing with heterogeneous representations and storing schema of bio-related data.
