I am a Professor in the School of Computer Science at
UMass Amherst, and co-Director of the Center for Intelligent Information
Retrieval (CIIR). My current work focuses on these areas:
- interactive information retrieval and organization, including
browsing and other human-computer interactions;
- automatic information organization;
- evaluation of information retrieval systems
- indexing, retrieving, and organizing scanned books
- understanding the controversial nature of search results
A list of my papers is available here. (This list is generated by the
CIIR publications database.)
In Spring 2013, I am teaching cs187, an undergraduate course on data
structures in Java.
