Evgeniy Gabrilovich is a Senior Research Scientist and Manager of the NLP & IR Group at Yahoo! Research. He joined Yahoo! Research in 2007 after completing his Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Shaul Markovitch at the Department of Computer Science at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. Dr. Gabrilovich has co-authored over 30 publications in top international conferences and journals, and filed over 20 patents. He served on the program committees of virtually every major conference in the field (including WWW, WSDM, SIGIR, CIKM, AAAI, ACL, EMNLP, HLT, COLING, JCDL). He also taught several tutorials on computational advertising and organized a number of workshops at top conferences.
I am interested in advancing the state of the art in information retrieval and natural language processing at Web scale. My recent research has been mainly focused on computational advertising, namely, designing ad matching systems that select contextually relevant ads in sponsored search and content match scenarios. I am also interested in using large-scale repositories of user-contributed knowledge (e.g., all of Wikipedia) to improve text processing and artificial intelligence applications.
I used to maintain a (somewhat dated now) collection of
resources in a variety of fields related to
text, speech and language processing. These include
computational linguistics, information retrieval and
machine learning. Here you can find pointers to useful Web sites,
as well as lists of relevant books, newsgroups and mailing lists,
and much more.
