Background
- Information Retrieval Researcher
- Works on modeling and experimenting with indexing and retrieval of text and visual data
- Currently focuses on continuous evaluation of Web search engines in the Kodicare project
- Also works on explainable video retrieval
- Collaborates with Schneider Electric on indexing and retrieval of normative documents
