Life

Japkowicz was born to Michel and Suzanne Japkowicz.[1] She completed a B.Sc. at McGill University in 1988.[2] She earned an M.Sc. from the University of Toronto in 1990.[2] She completed a Ph.D. at Rutgers University in 1999.[2] Her dissertation was titled Concept-learning in the absence of counter-examples: an autoassociation-based approach to classification.[1] Andrew Gelsey was her interim doctoral advisor from January to August 1995.[1] Stephen José Hanson and Casimir Alexander Kulikowski were her doctoral advisors.[1] Japkowicz dedicated her dissertation to her parents and husband, Norrin M. Ripsman.[1]

Japkowicz worked at the University of Ottawa in the school of electrical engineering and computer science.[2] She was the lead of its laboratory for research on machine learning for defense security.[2] From 2003 to 2005, Japkowicz was the secretary of the Canadian Artificial Intelligence Association (CAIAC).[3] She was CAIAC vice president from 2009 to 2014 and president from 2013 to 2015, and part-president from 2015 to 2017.[3][4]

Japkowicz is a professor and department chair of computer science at the American University College of Arts and Sciences.[2] She researches artificial intelligence, machine learning, data mining, and big data analysis.[5]
