I am a PhD student at Language Technologies Institute. What I hope to get out of this Social Media Analysis class is to learn the methods and tools that have been or can be used for analyzing and understanding social media. I am also interested on how the tools (tinker toys) involved in the project I am currently involved in: NELL can be adapted for use on social media domain (to build knowledge base based on a social media), or how its knowledge base can be used as a resource to analyze and/or understand social media.

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 that tries to learn overtime to 'read' (extract facts) from the Web. Previously I was involved in e-LICO project, specifically in the building of an ontology of data mining algorithms and models. I have also worked before on the area of opinion mining and graph clustering.
