Update: I am now working at Yahoo! Labs under Search and Advertising Sciences (SAS)
division as a Web Search Relevance Scientist. You can contact me at sree47--at--yahoo--com.
Education
I have graduated with a Ph.D.
from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Arizona State
University, Tempe, AZ. I completed my Masters from the
Department of Computer Science
at University
of Minnesota Duluth, MN.
Earlier, I did my under graduation in CS at Velagapudi Ramakrishna
Siddhartha Engineering College (V.R.S.E.C.), Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh,
India.
Research
These are my research interests:
- Information Extraction and Information
Retrieval from Web: automatic transformation of HTML pages into
semi-structured XML documents, separation and extraction of metadata
from Web pages.
- Web Content Mining: automated ontology
mining from Web pages, merging/mapping ontologies, metadata and instance
mining from domain specific Web pages.
- Machine Learning and Data Mining:
efficient training of artificial neural networks and statistical
learning methods for handling large data sets.
My Ph.D. advisor is
Dr.
Hasan Davulcu. We are working
on building systems that can automatically learn ontologies from Web
pages and organize the information for effective retrieval. I am part
of Cognitive
Information Processing (CIPS) Lab
in the Department of Computer Science Department at Arizona State
University.
My Masters' thesis
titled "Efficient Neural Network Training Using Subsets of Very Large
Datasets" dealt with application of neural networks to the field of
Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD). My advisor was
Dr. Rich Maclin.
A copy of my thesis can be found on his
page.
My thesis presentation slides can be found
here (a pdf version is here).

Professional Work Experience
-
Intern in Windows Live Search at Microsoft Corp. (Summer 2006):
Developed tools and methodology to analyze the quality of the index of Windows Live Search based on
the static rank distribution of the pages. This involved collection and analysis of the appropriate
metrics for documents in the entire index data and and identify possible solutions
to make the index generation pipeline more efficient.
-
Intern in MSN Search at Microsoft Corp. (Summer 2005):
Developed a tool that measures of the effect of query rewriting on the relevance
of the results in a search engine. The tool automatically suggests the rewriting options with
synonyms and co-occurring terms with the query terms that improve the relevance of the results.
-
Research Scientist in Data Mining Research Group at Humana Inc. (Summer 2004):
Developed a system that visualizes and analyzes the disease conditions of health
insurance members based on their medical and pharmacy claims. Devised Bayesian Vector
Autoregression (BVAR) model to forecast claim costs and health conditions. This system
helps in identifying the potential sick customers that can be helped by a dedicated personal nurse program.

Some
Personal Stuff
I maintain a blog
at Blogger.com called " unPHinisheD
Story", where I talk about
computer science, advances in technology, research in Web mining,
life as a graduate student, history about Hindu culture, similarities
in various religions such as Islam/Christianity/Buddism/Hinduism etc,
service, leading
a spiritual life, ... huh! May be or may be not! Just whatever pops
up into my head :).
The blog is also lazily mirrored at MSN Spaces here.
I recently started another blog in telugu called Bhaavayami,
where I want to put up sthotrams, keerthanas, and devotional songs in telugu script.
My Alternate Homepage can found at
www.sreespace.com, where
you can check out demos of my research projects, my telugu class
resources, telugu literature translation and other works.
This page is also lazily mirrored here.
