I am interested in creating innovative models of machine learning. Often, I apply these models in problems of cyber security (e.g., intrusion detection, bot detection, etc.) and public security (person at risk detection, personal stress surveillance, latent finger- or palm-print identification, etc.) I am also interested in automating the use of theorem proving to formal methods of system development. Currently, my research concerns: the design of novel methods for anomaly detection, pattern-based classification, (fuzzy) clustering, similarity relations, latent finger- or palm-print identification, functional trees, neural architecture search and strategy discovery.
