About me…
I am researcher at Instituto de Investigaciones en Matemáticas Aplicadas y en Sistemas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. I finished my Ph. D. in Computer Science at the Centro de Investigación en Computación, IPN. My research interests are in the field of natural language processing and text mining. I have worked on semantic similarity, authorship attribution, author profiling, and several text classification problems. During my Ph.D. I introduced text representation structures based on graphs to facilitate NLP tasks and a new method to calculate the semantic similarity between texts, called soft cosine similarity, which considers the semantic information of characteristics such as words, n-grams, POS tags, etc.
Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Helena Gómez Adorno is a professor of Artificial Intelligence at IIMAS-UNAM. Among her research interests areas are natural language processing, computational linguistics, and information retrieval; specifically, question answering, semantic similarity, authorship attribution, and author profiling. Lead a research and development team to implement intelligent systems with the help of machine learning and neural networks.
