Hi, my name is James Gardner. I am a Computer Science graduate student at Emory University. My thesis advisor is
Li Xiong.
My main interests are Graph Theory, Optimization, Information Retrieval and the intersection of these
topics.
Teaching
I am currently co-teaching CS224: Mathematical Foundation of Computer Science with
James Lu.
The syllabus can be read here:
http://mathcs.emory.edu/~cs224000/syllabus.pdf.
Course Work
In progress
I am working on
Health Information DE-identification (HIDE), a framework for publishing and sharing health data while preserving data privacy and
NNexus, the automatic linking component of PlanetMath.org.
Completed
I have completed Natural Language Processing, Graph Theory, Combinatorial Optimization, Data Mining, Theory of Computing, Systems Programming, Database Systems, Compiler Construction, Operating Systems and Parallel Processing.
Research
I am currenty researching aspects of machine learning, semantics, natural language processing,
and ontologies for use in collaboration, education, and hyperlinking on the semantic web.

Enhancing the PlanetMath Auto-linker.
Planetmath.org can be viewed as a semantic network. For a user to learn about a particular topic in most cases requires reading other related articles. NNexus tries to help users find related information. NNexus performs the task of linking articles so that authors will not have to search the planetmath site to find related articles and manually link to them. I have completed the modularization of the linker and I am currently working on feature enhancements.
More info and the code can be found here.
This project is in active development and the majority of work was performed during
the Google Summer of Code Program.
