Execution traces of software programs are sequences of events corresponding to the execution of low level procedures. Understanding the process that generated these traces can provide helpful insights as to the cause of failures, or the impact of program and user behavior on a service. An hierarchical segmentation of these events can provide the information needed for the understanding of the application behavior.

If time permits, I will also discuss another project: Title: Searching Large Indexes on Tiny Devices: Extending Binary Search with Character Pinning Abstract: Motivated by the shrinking size and increasing capacity of mobile devices, we consider the problem of helping a user to find an item of interest in a large sorted list of strings using a limited user interface. We extend the standard binary search tree by allowing characters from the prefix of the current item to be selected (pinned). BIO: I am a researcher at Microsoft Research, working in the Machine Learning and Applied Statistics group. I graduated from the Ben Gurion University, the Computer Science department on 2007, studying under the supervision of Prof. Ronen Brafman and Prof. Eyal Shimony. My main research interests lie in the control of processes, especially under partial observability (POMDPs). I am also interested in Planning, Data Mining, Machine Learning and Recommender Systems.
