Our lab focuses on research in both data mining and computer security.

Data Mining: The focus of our research is on fundamental machine learning/data mining issues within the context of practical applications. Our current research includes projects on:

• Anomaly detection
• Clustering high dimensional data
• Clustering and classification of text for digital libraries
• Detection of mislabeled and/or noisy data

Applications: Current applications that we are working on include:

• Perseus, A digital library for classics (Tufts University)
• Astrophysics (Harvard University)
• Vapor-based sensing (Tufts University)
• Creating maps of global land cover (Boston University)

Computer Security: We are developing approaches to solve current problems at the systems level. Our current research includes projects on:

• Hardware support for intrusion detection
• User-reauthentication via behavioral modeling
• Detection and rate limiting of network covert channels
