I'm a Principal Scientist and Data Engineering Manager at Intelius. After defending
my PhD thesis
in Carnegie
Mellon working under
the
ingenious William W.
Cohen, I worked as a Senior Scientist at Bing.com and as a Scientist at MicrosoftLive Labs. Before that I also
worked as a software engineer at Ericsson
R&D on real-time call allocation and other cell phone networks
related problems. I'm
interested in
applied research interfacing Machine
Learning, Information
Retrieval and Text & Data Mining. In
particular, I have worked on text mining, learning specific ranking
functions
for web search, long web query retrieval, sampling techniques for
large scale evaluation,
information extraction,
classification and user recommendation
models for email (speech acts, email leaks, recipient
recommendation, etc.), and a handful of other interesting
topics.
