Following several years, engaged in researches in soft optimization methods including genetic algorithms (GA). Inspired by the similarity between genes in GA and words in natural languages, current research goal is to pursue both the statistical and semantic nature of information transferred over text-based media. Now is working on such topics as information retrieval, natural language processing, web information analysis.
