Deep Learning
Learning conceptual representation of textual documents • 2015 — Now
Studied on different applictions of deep learning (specially sequence-to-sequence models) in Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing.
- Amir H. Jadidinejad, ``Neural Machine Transliteration'', ArXive, 2016.
Conceptual Feature Generation
PhD thesis • 2010 — 2015
Studied on knowledge extraction from large scale Collaboratively Constructed Semantic Resources (specially Wikipedia as a multilingual, huge, popular encyclopedia and Wiktionary as Wikipedia's lexical companion) to construct a huge scale, machine-readable ontology and leverage it to solve some preliminary problems in IR and NLP. I specialized in the problem of mapping a fragment of unstructured text into Wikipedia Concept Space. This approach has been applied in different IR and NLP tasks such as: semantic similarity, document clustering/classification and etc.
