Andrew McCallum

Andrew McCallum is a professor in the computer science department at University of Massachusetts Amherst. His primary specialties are in machine learning, natural language processing, information extraction, information integration, and social network analysis. Quotes The main goal of my research is to dramatically increase our ability to mine actionable knowledge from unstructured text. I am especially interested in information extraction from the Web, understanding the connections between people and between organizations, expert finding, social network analysis, and mining the scientific literature & community. Toward this end my group develops and employs various methods in statistical machine learning, natural language processing, information retrieval and data mining---tending toward probabilistic approaches and graphical models. For more information see our current projects and publications. We have publicly launched Rexa, a new research paper search engine. It is a sibling to CiteSeer and Google Scholar, except that it provides search and browsing over more "object types", including not just papers, but also people, grants and topics.
