Nathalie Japkowicz is a Canadian computer scientist specializing in machine learning. She is a professor and department chair of computer science at the American University College of Arts and Sciences.

Life

Nathalie Japkowicz completed a B.Sc. at McGill University in 1988. She earned an M.Sc. from the University of Toronto in 1990. She completed a Ph.D. at Rutgers University in 1999. Her dissertation was titled Concept-learning in the absence of counter-examples: an autoassociation-based approach to classification. Stephen José Hanson and Casimir Alexander Kulikowski were her doctoral advisors.

Japkowicz worked at the University of Ottawa in the school of electrical engineering and computer science. She was the lead of its laboratory for research on machine learning for defense security. From 2003 to 2005, Japkowicz was the secretary of the Canadian Artificial Intelligence Association (CAIAC). She was CAIAC vice president from 2009 to 2014 and president from 2013 to 2015, and part-president from 2015 to 2017.

Japkowicz is a professor and department chair of computer science at the American University College of Arts and Sciences. She researches artificial intelligence, machine learning, data mining, and big data analysis.
