Research Interests

My research interests include machine learning and text mining. My current research focuses on Community Question Answering (CQA) archives such as LinuxQuestions and Stackoverflow. In particular I am investigating probabilistic models that can represent their content and help discover the archive's topical structure. This output can be used to understand, browse and search the archive.

Hobbies

In my free time I enjoy photography :-)
