I am looking for student who want my supervision 
on final year projects in two areas: 
(1) information retrieval 
(see www.cs.cityu.edu.hk/~lwang/ccs4485.html)
(2) Internet applications and (3) Data mining. 

Interesting persons should contact Dr. Lusheng Wang
at 27889828  e-mail lwang@cs.cityu.edu.hk (office Y6429)  


The folowing are two examples:
(1)  Title: Intelligence Internet Search Engine
     Problem: when using  search engines, one gets lots
     of useless results. How to automatically select
     usefull results?

     Objective:   Aim at building a system that can obtain the
                  results that  the user wants.
     Method:  Learning by examples. After search, the user looks
     at some (very few) web pages and tells which one is good
     and which one is bad. Then some math methods will be used
     to quickly improve the quality of the search.
     (I have very concrete ideas and am sure that this will
     lead to a good system.)
     


(2)  Title:     Web-based data mining using uncertainty reasoning
     Objective: Generate/Systhesis rules using  a method I
                developed. The method is powerful and easy 
                to understand.
  




Some  other possible topics are: 

1. Information Retrivial on Internet 

  use  information retrivial techniques  
  to get high quality query results

2. Computational Chemistry on internet 

  We have a nice (but not too hard)  algorithm to design 
  chemical moelculars and want  to  implement the algorithm 
  on internet using Java. We need a nice interface. 

3. Other topics, like internet security, etc are also O.K.

4. Bioinformatics  I (Distinguishing String selection peoblem)

5.  Bioinformatics II (Consensus pattern problem) 

   We use Java to implement a system on internet (web).    

6. Bioinformatics III (Closest string and Substring problem) 
We use Java to implement a system on internet (web).
