About us
Welcome to the page of LEAF Lab!
LEAF represents four types of skills that are invaluable in the machine learning related research,
including Learning, Exploring, Analyzing, and Formulating.
In LEAF lab, we are interested in data mining, machine learning and natural language processing with
particular applications in healthcare domain. We conduct fundamental research and develop advanced methods
to solve challenges in healthcare. We perform data annotations and create high-quality data for the community
to design and test advanced machine learning models.
We also develop tools to support and demonstrate our research and
make them fun and easy to use for people to learn and explore.
If you are interested in learning more about our research, collaborating, or joining the LEAF lab, please feel free to email
