About Me:
I am a final year PhD student at School of Computing Science in University of Glasgow , Scotland. I am a member of
Information Retrieval Group, and Professor Mounia Lalmas is my supervisor.
I am part of a research project with Yahoo! Research Alliance, Barcelona, Spain.
My current areas of research interests are:
Aggregated web search, Interactive Information Retrieval Systems, Analysis of user behavior in context of web search, Multi-document summarization and Document clustering.
In my past research work I have been involved in projects related to:
Artificial Intelligence, Case Based Reasoning, Fuzzy Logic, Multi- criteria Decision Making and Document Image Processing.
And My Thoughts........
