Jamie Callan is a Research Assistant Professor. His research includes improved methods of representing and retrieving full-text documents, high speed document filtering algorithms, and algorithms that learn a person's information needs. He also works actively with members of the Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval to define technology transfer projects involving the INQUERY information retrieval and InRoute document filtering systems.
