RESEARCH INTEREST

My general research interests lie in the use and development of information retrieval and machine learning techniques for effective and efficient adaptive information access and mining. I am particularly interested in content management and search in distributed environments such as enterprise networks, peer-to-peer file-sharing networks, and social networks. My other areas of interest include personalized search and domain-dependent (e.g., legal, medical) or task-specific (e.g., retail, travel) information processing and knowledge discovery.
