Pioneered in cloud computing research and development in 1990s, and contributed to delivering financial services to carrier servicemen. Sample work: “Shifting paradigms with the application service provider model”, IEEE Computer Magazine, October, 2001. pp.32-39. PDF download
In 2015-2019, extended knowledge engineering's industry standard OWL (Web Ontology Language) into Pace University Knowledge Graph by introducing custom relations beyond the is-a and part-of relations; and extended Stanford University project Protégé so domain experts could visually define concepts and custom relations with a flexible subset of math properties and encode domain knowledge for supporting knowledge base and knowledge-empowered AI, beyond the experiential limit of machine learning.
In 1981, inspired by Stanford University Prof. Nils J Nilsson's seminal book “The Mathematical Foundations of Learning Machines”, and in cooperation with a major metropolitan medical center, completed and published his MS-CS research of applying machine learning with the first generation neural networks to predict the diameter/severity of heart mitral stenosis with 22 health metrics with an accuracy of 93%. Contributions include efficient methods to introduce derived variables so a linear discriminant function can be trained to implement any complex nonlinear dichotomy hyperplane; and simplex method was used to improve the machine learning speed.
