CONNEX-CITÉ: SCIENCE CLASSIFICATION
A natural language processing approach to scientific taxonomy creation for articles classification and author disambiguation
I am working with the company Science-Metrix to help them improve their classification of journals and scholarly articles as well as solve related problems such as author disambiguation. To do so, I leverage the information of citation networks and of document texts. Hence, my research entails the use of graph theory and algorithms, information retrieval, natural language processing, machine learning and big data.
My previous research was about understanding how to create cheap electricity with a new type of "plastic" solar cells, or more specifically, charge separation dynamics at organic semiconductor heterojunctions using ultrafast spectroscopy.
My research is supported by a Mitacs Elevate Fellowship.
