Research Assistant - Worked on the Haystack project, a Java- and XML-based information management client. Research included designing and implementing data model, algorithm, and user interface for learning patterns for semantic information extraction on the World Wide Web. Users highlight examples of data which they wish to extract, and a pattern is formed which may be re-used to extract information at a later date. By applying semantic labels to these patterns, they may be integrated into the larger framework of the Semantic Web.
