Hi, I'm Wouter, and I'm incurably curious. Currently, I am employed as a postdoctoral researcher in the Collaborative Research Center SFB 876 at the Technische Universität Dortmund. Before that, I was employed as a PhD candidate in the Data Mining group of LIACS, Leiden University.
During my PhD candidacy, I have been working on the Exceptional Model Mining (EMM) project, funded by NWO. EMM is a framework that can be seen as a generalisation of Subgroup Discovery (SD). Both SD and EMM attempt to find small portions of the data where the observed behaviour is notably different from that of the database as a whole. In SD, `behaviour' is traditionally interpreted in terms of the distribution of a single nominal variable. EMM, on the other hand, seeks subgroups for which a fitted local model is surprisingly different from a global model. In this approach, `behaviour' is described by a number of attributes, and fitting a model captures multivariate dependencies between these attributes.
Currently, my research interests revolve around SD and EMM in a somewhat wider scope. On the one hand, I am interested in combining concepts from Subgroup Discovery and ROC Analysis. On the other hand, I am interested in SD and EMM on streams. Initially this can take the relatively simple form of extracting a meaningful flat table representation of features from the stream, and observing the results that can be obtained by running out-of-the-box SD and EMM algorithms on that table. Eventually, though, I strive to develop a full-fledged algorithm that allows to mine for interesting subgroups directly on the data stream.
