His current research focuses on scalable interactive retrieval in large multimedia collections, to gain insight into specific, broad, and changing information needs. The core of the research lies in the combination of data science for generating encoders and classifiers, and data management for cleaning, transforming, and storing the various multimodal data, with the goal being meaningful scalable retrieval.
