Matthias Galle

I am a Research Scientist at the Machine Learning for Document Access and Translation (MLDAT) at the Xerox Research Centre Europe. My research interest lies in machine learning for information access, grammatical inference and stringology (yes, go check the link: it is probably not what you think it is). The application area used to be genetic sequences, nowadays it is mostly natural language.

Research

Currenly, I am focusing on probabilistic topic models for improving text access. Before I was involved in the EU project SYNC3 , working mostly on similarity metrics and clustering algorithms.
