Research interests
My main research interests are text mining and natural language processing. I have been involved research projects related to opinion and emotion mining using user generated contents on social media. I led two reesarch projects funded by Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS) from Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) Malaysia in both 2014 and 2017. I was also involved in an industrial resarch project funded by Telekom Malaysia on sentiment analysis. In 2021, I am part of two research teams working on digital health projects, particularly on emotion-aware chatbot and emotion detection using videos. Currently, I am also involved in an industrial grant on generating knowledge graph from support documents, and another project on entity matching for health surveillance data.
