Machine Learning, Topic Modeling, Text Mining
Center for Machine Learning and Intelligent Systems

My research focuses on theory and application of topic models and related text mining and machine learning techniques. My work is marked by a commitment to combining theoretical advances with practical applications in ways that widen access and use for individuals and communities, and improve the way people find, discover, analyze and understand information.
