Interests

My research interest is the result of an overlap between natural language processing, data science, and machine learning applied to text mining to extract semantic features.

Natural Language Processing
- Semantic feature extraction
- Natural Language Understanding
- Language Modeling
- Paraphrase Generation/Detection
- Attention mechanisms
- Text Summarization
- Meeting Summarization
- Word embeddings (Contextual and Static)
- Fake News detection
Scientometrics
Bibliometrics
Recommender Systems
Machine Learning
