Petra Galuscakova

I work on an intersection of information retrieval and natural language processing. I have been working on a wide range of information retrieval and natural language processing problems and I am interested in providing robust access strategies for complex search scenarios, such as cross-language retrieval and speech retrieval. I particularly enjoy working on interdisciplinary research and applications.
