Current Projects

Web-Based Medical Article Record System (WebMARS): Web-Based Medical Article Record System (WebMARS) is for automating the production of bibliographic records from online medical journal articles for MEDLINE/PubMed. I designed and implemented an online HTML journal article geometric and logical layout analysis algorithm, which integrates DOM tree and Hidden Markov Model to extract certain information from articles.
