His research interests
include anti-phishing, question answering, graphics recognition and document analysis,
sketch understanding and sketch-based user interfaces, pattern recognition
and performance evaluation, user modeling and personalization, multimedia
information retrieval, personalization information management, object-process
methodology, and software engineering and Web services engineering. He has
authored or co-authored more than 100 publications and twelve patents
pending in these areas.
Liu Wenyin played
a major role in developing the Machine Drawing Understanding System
(MDUS), which won
First
Place in the Dashed
Line Recognition Contest (http://www.loria.fr/~tombre/grec95.html) held
during the First IAPR Workshop on Graphics Recognition at
Pennsylvania
State
University
, 1995. In 1997, he won a Third Prize in the ACM/IBM First
