Henrik Boström, Professor
Dept. of Computer and Systems Sciences
Stockholm University

NOTE: Since Oct. 1, 2017, I am professor in computer science – data science systems at KTH Royal Institute of Technology – my new contact information is here.

 

The information below is no longer updated, but kept for historical reasons. For more recent updates, visit my new web page (see above).

My research interests are primarily within the area of machine learning, i.e., artificial systems that learn from experience. Research in this area may be found under several different headings, including data science, data mining, knowledge discovery, big data analytics, predictive modeling and intelligent data analysis. My research focus is on ensemble learning and interpretable models, including decision trees and rules.

I am editor of the journal Machine Learning and at the editorial boards of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, Journal of Machine Learning Research and Intelligent Data Analysis.

I am project leader of High-performance data mining for drug effect detection, a 19 MSEK project funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research during 2012-2017. See press release (in Swedish). I am also at the management board of the project Integrated Dynamic Prognostic Maintenance Support (IRIS), lead by Scania AB, and supported by 11.6 MSEK from Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems (VINNOVA) during 2012-2017.
