Biography
Javed Aslam is chief of artificial intelligence and a professor at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Boston.
While most of Aslam's research delves into machine learning and information retrieval, he has experience in human computation, transportation, computer security, wireless networking, and medical informatics. In machine learning, Aslam has developed models and algorithms for multi-label classification and learning in the presence of noisy or erroneous training data. In information retrieval, he has applied techniques from machine learning, statistics, information theory, and social choice theory to develop algorithms for automatic information organization, metasearch, and efficient search engine training and evaluation.
Before joining Northeastern, Aslam was an assistant professor at Dartmouth College and a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard University. He served as the general co-chair for the 2009 ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval and as the program co-chair for SIGIR 2016.
