Research Interests
I am interested in the area of Natural Language Processing, and more specifically in Text Mining techniques applied to the biomedical domain. Currently, I am researching different ways of identifying key terms relevant to genes. Please see Publications for papers and posters on this subject.
Past Projects
implemented a relation extraction systen in Java, similar to the one described by Dmitry Zelenko
researched ways to simplify relative clauses and reduced relative clauses from sentences (applied on biomedical domain); built a system (Simp) in Perl that works with different types of simplifications by applying manual rules. I worked on this project together with Peter Cline.
researched different ways to summarize documents using lexical chains
