I'm head of the research group for Ranking and Uncertain Data Management at D5 of MPI-Inf.
My general research interests are in the integration of DB&IR.
Specifically:
- Probabilistic databases and management of uncertain data
- Combining domain-oriented and open-domain information extraction techniques
- Efficient query processing/reasoning in large RDF collections
- Efficient XML-IR and full-text search in XPath/XQuery

- I have been in the organizer's team of the international INEX (Initiative on the Evaluation of XML Retrieval) workshop for a few years, with a focus on the document exploration phase and topic development using TopX
INEX '06,
INEX '07,
INEX '08/'09/'10
and the Efficiency Track at INEX '08/'09.
INEX was an activity of the DELOS Network of Excellence for Digital Libraries until 2007.
