Background
- Main research goal is to dramatically increase the ability to mine actionable knowledge from unstructured text. Particularly interested in information extraction from the Web, understanding connections between people and organizations, expert finding, social network analysis, and mining scientific literature & community. Methods used include statistical machine learning, natural language processing, information retrieval, and data mining, with a tendency towards probabilistic approaches and graphical models.
Miscellany
- - Building an 'open reviewing' system for ICLR 2013 and other venues.
- - Interested in alternative approaches to peer review.
