My work
- My research is concentrated on the application of adaptive genetic algorithm/programming and robust statistics to information retrieval, text mining, Web search. I am also involved in the development of web-based summarization system, and question-answering system in the CLAIR group headed by Prof. Dragomir Radev at the School of Information, University of Michigan. Some of my recent publications can be found here or my project page. Please drop me a line if you find this useful.
