Research: The focus of my current research is on developing sense-based document selection methods. More specifically, given a word of our interest, we would like to select (or filter out) a document based on the sense of the word that is being used in the document rather than based on the presence or absence of the word. We plan to use these techniques in the REAP project to study the effects of the word sense assitance provided by the tutoring system to the students.

Brief Background: I pursued my Masters in Computer Science at University of Minnesota, Duluth under Dr. Ted Pedersen's guidance. I defended my thesis in July 2006 which is titled as: Unsupervised Context Discrimination and Automatic Cluster Stopping. Some more information about my research in Context Discrimination and Cluster Stopping can be found here. Here is a link to my UMD web-page.
