Research
My research interests are in knowledge extraction, information retrieval, and natural language processing. I also work on machine learning applied to these fields. I have supervised graduate-level research on the problems of named entity recognition, entity typing and disambiguation; open relation extraction from text, understanding social processes in Wikipedia article authoring; mining citation networks; and semistructured data management.
