Bio
My research interests are in natural language processing, machine learning, and text mining. These days, I'm studying information extraction from two specific domains (legal records and medical records.) I completed a Ph.D in computer science from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in August 2005.
Competition on Legal Information Extraction/Entailment (COLIEE) 2014-2017
I have been working as a co-organizer of COLIEE competitions 2014-2017. For details, please see COLIEE 2017 Competition
