I am an assistant professor at the University of Texas in the School of Information.
My work focuses on information retrieval and machine learning. I am especially interested in statistical methods for learning from large bodies of text. Most of my research focuses on dimensionality reduction, identifying subjective aspects of documents (sentiment classification) and document clustering. In addition to these topics, I am interested in the theoretical study of information, especially information-theoretic and other probabilistic frameworks for studying information in games (such as crossword puzzles).
