Ali Mohammadi Shanghooshabad
About Ali
Ali's Ph.D. thesis in computer science has now been successfully defended. He was supported by the EPSRC and worked under Prof. Peter Triantafillou's supervision. He began his Ph.D. research by investigating machine learning and statistical techniques on data systems, particularly in big data settings.
Research
Ali works to improve machine learning and statistical techniques for data systems, and vice versa. He has participated in a number of successful projects, including Model Joins, Join Sampling, and Learned Approximate Query Processing. Currently, his primary focus is on discovering a clear mapping between graphical models and the join problem in relational databases, and he is attempting to develop a new efficient and scalable physical join algorithm to obtain the exact join result using graphical models.
