Research interests

The main field of my research interests is (Statistical) Natural Language Processing . Particularly, my research focuses on semantic network and thesaurus construction from text. My other research interests include also Text Mining, Information Retrieval, and Machine Learning / Pattern Recognition for Natural Language Processing.

Topic the PhD thesis: "Semantic Network Construction from Text Documents"

Developments

Associative Net. A program for searching associative chains in the associative network. The application stores and provides access to associative and cognitive networks of various languages (Russian, English, Spanish, German ). The program makes possible multifarious kinds of search for associative chains in the associative networks. The program is written in C# and make use of SQL Server DBMS. (2008).

This software was developed in the framework of the research project "Automated System for Scientific Associative Experiments" in BMSTU under supervision of professors Andrew Philippovich and Yuri Philippovich. Please contact me if you would like to obtain a free copy of the program.
