RESEARCH INTERESTS
My main research interests are methods for semantic similarity analysis and their application for information retrieval. Beyond my core research, I am interested in applied data science and knowledge management challenges and the application of blockchain technology to tackle these challenges.
My research spans the fields of:
- Information Retrieval (esp. for text, images, and mathematical content)
- Natural Language Processing
- Plagiarism Detection
- Citation and Link Analysis
- Blockchain Technology
- Information Visualization
