Hi, welcome to my homepage. I come from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. My name in Vietnamese is Huỳnh Ngọc Tuyên. I did my PhD at the Department of Computer Science, The University of Texas at Austin under the supervision of Prof. Raymond J. Mooney. In June 2011, I join SRI International as a computer scientist.

Research interests and publications

Research interests

My current research is on improving the accuracy and scalability of discriminative learning methods for Markov Logic Networks. Besides, I am also interested in Bayesian Statistics, Optimization, Computer Vision, Computational Linguistics, and Bioinformatics.
