Current Lab Members
Principal Investigator
Dr Jeff Dalton
Lecturer (tenure-track Assistant Professor)
His main research interests focus on the intersection of natural language understanding and information seeking for complex tasks.
@jeffd
Postdocs
Shubham Chatterjee
He works on several research areas within IR, such as Neural Entity Extraction, Text Understanding, Conversational IR, Knowledge Graphs and Representation Learning. His goal is to design intelligent search systems that can provide complete answers to complex user information needs, rather than just a list of results. Prior completed his Ph.D. with Dr. Laura Dietz at the University of New Hampshire, USA.
