I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University working with Thorsten Joachims. Currently, my research explores how document collections develop -- specifically, by detecting idea flows between documents by looking at which documents influence each other. These (entirely) text-based methods can be used to detect the most influential documents and authors in document collections. Applications exist in many domains of text documents, e.g. news articles, web pages, research publications, libraries, blogs, e-mail, among many others.
