About

Name: Derry Tanti Wijaya

Homepage: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dwijaya

I am a 2nd year PhD student at Language Technologies Institute.

My research interest is in the area of information retrieval, machine learning, and natural language processing. I am currently involved in the Read The Web project that builds a system called NELL which tries to learn overtime to 'read' (automatically extract facts and build a Knowledge Base of these facts) from the Web. Previously I was involved in the e-LICO project, specifically in the building of an ontology of data mining algorithms and models. I have also worked previously on the area of opinion mining and graph clustering.
