Dr. Jonathan Hodgson is a Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA, where he teaches a wide variety of courses at both the undergraduate and master's level. Previously, he was on the faculty at Adelphi University and, prior to that, at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Hodgson started his career as a mathematician working in the field of topology. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge. Dr. Hodgson became involved with computers, originally with the idea of drawing pictures of knots on a Tektronix machine using Plot-90. In the 1980s, he developed an interest in artificial intelligence, particularly problem solving and logic programming, both of which are his areas of major research interest.

Dr. Hodgson has published papers on differential topology, problem solving, and the use of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) tags for flagging semantic content in Web pages. He is currently the convenor of WG17, the ISO/IEC JTC1 working group on Prolog standardization.

  Evaluating the effects of missing values and mixed data types on social sequence clustering using t-SNE visualization
Lazar A., Jin L., Spurlock C., Wu K., Sim A., Todd A. Journal of Data and Information Quality 11(2): 1-22, 2019.  Type: Article

The authors discuss how one can compensate for missing values when clustering joint categorical sequences. For example, one might have a set of sequences with both nominal values, such as family size, and binary values, for example, ma...

  Towards the use of machine learning algorithms to enhance the effectiveness of search strings in secondary studies
Cairo L., Monteiro M., de F. Carneiro G., Brito e Abreu F.  SBES 2019 (Proceedings of the XXXIII Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering, Salvador, Brazil, Sep 23-27, 2019) 22-26, 2019.  Type: Proceedings

The authors propose the use of text mining to enhance the creation of search strings for constructing so-called secondary studies--that is to say, survey articles. The primary measures of success in this endeavor should be rec...
