1.      My current research interests are related to text classification, knowledge representation, and information extraction from clinical, medical, and biomedical textual data. I am currently working on finishing my PhD thesis entitled Personalized medicine through automatic extraction of information from medical texts.

Some of my research objectives are:

a. Automatically identifying disease-presence in clinical data;

b. Identifying topic-relevant information in the life-science literature;

c.  Functional genomics;

d. Prediction of existing relations between medical entities.

     

2.      Additional research interests involve cross-language word sense disambiguation using Machine Learning techniques. My research focus involves Cognates, False Friends, and Partial Cognates word-pairs between French and English. The tasks that I tackled are the identification of cognates and false-friend pairs, and the disambiguation of partial-cognates.  Part of this research involved the development of a tool that uses part of the research that I did on this topic. The tool is called CLPA – Cross-Language Pair Annotation tool. It is a java free-for-download project designed to annotate French texts with Cognates and False Friends words. More information and a snapshot of the tool’s GUI can be found here.

 

3.      Multilingual text processing and information extraction systems are also part of my research interests. I am a member of the BALIE project. My main contribution consists in adding the Romanian-language capabilities to the project.

 

 

I am currently affiliated with the Text Analysis and MAchine LEarning (TAMALE) Group and a member of the Natural Language Processing (Cookie) Group the at University of Ottawa, Canada. 

The TAMALE group holds weekly interesting seminars. The schedule can be found here.
