Sabbatical Reports

My sabbatical leave was conducted during Spring semester 2014. The leave was successful because it strengthened my research in data mining and software engineering domains and resulted four full-paper publications in peer-reviewed international conferences and one journal paper (to be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal). The purpose of my sabbatical was to complete two main projects: (1) Investigate the stability and defect prediction model performance of feature selection techniques together on real-world software metrics data and (2) Design a novel, robust, and efficient metric selection method for imbalanced data.
