I am a computer science researcher foucsed in Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence. My research interests are situated cognition, learning and communication, activity theory, neurons and network, agent communication languages as well as machine learning.
Aside from doing computer science research, I am also very much interested in arts, and photography, On this website, you may find scientific articles, random essays, and photos sessions that I was involved in both taking and acting.
My research interests are analyzing and understanding how people induce communications protocols on the Web in particular focused on computer scientists engaged in a joint project. The research interests started from reading William J. Clancey's article on 'what we are learning about communication protocols' on an actual HMP scenarios. I selected a similar scenario, studying an actual ongoing EleGI project whereby the collaborators communications were mediated by the Web tools. I use an ethnography methodology, recording, and transcribing the communication exchanges among the computer scientists.
During the observations and analyses of the collaborators conversations, I have developed the activity states framework. It remains an open framework where the aim is to establish a method for analyzing communications on the Web where concrete data meets formal model. The activity states framework applies three major cognition theories (i) hierarchy of learning and communication (Bateson, 1972 & 1979); (ii) situated cognition (Clancey, 1997); and (iii) activity theory (Leont'ev, 1978). What I enjoy most in my work is spending hours analyzing those conversations that I have recorded and transcribed. I have pre-processed those conversations into formalized messages based on those three cognition theories. The conversations are represented as conversation structures. I analyze the changes in those conversation structures, always tying it back to cognition process at the neural level.
Currently, I am finding generalities that emerge from the 5,000 conversation structures to conceive some semi-automatic algorithm to assists in analyzing conversations.

Other interests..about surreal and portraits photography
I am personally interested and involved in posing as a subject in surreal photography. The photography is composed of story like pictures mainly dealing with fantasies. It is emphasized that the subject of the surreal photography to exhibit odd body movements and dramatic facial expressions. Each of the photographs is viewed as escapism from the real world to another world emphasizing on time transitions. It attempts to re-enact previous and future time but never to portray the pictures in the present time.
